During autocad drawing sessions the graphics display are always draws

A : Full scale

A drawing has its limits matched to the usable printer space on an Archictectural D size sheet using a plot scale of 1/4 inch = 1 ft. in order for noncontinuous line types to appear correctly, the system variable LTSCALE should be set to onehalf the drawing factor (DSF/2) or 1/2 the reciprocal of the plot scale which is

Layers can be used to group related objects (entities) in a drawing based on a multitude of user prefs such as views in an orthographic drawing or objects used to represent a component. In complex drawings the actual number of layers can be relatively large. One method of managing multiple layers is through the use of layer filters. A user can create TWO MAJOR types of layer filters:

D : properties and groups

Using autocads default settings a relative polar point specification of @8.0<-90 will

D : specify a point 8.0 units in the negative vertical direction form the current position
