Modes
Controls several drawing modes.
-
Ortho.

either horizontal or vertical locations relative to the previous
point. With PolarSnap, you can set a specified snap angle distance.
- Solid Fill. Turns Fill mode on and off. Fill mode controls the solid
filling of wide polylines, donuts, and 2D solids.
- Quick Text. Turns on Quick Text mode. Quick Text mode displays text
and attributes as simple rectangles.
- Blips.
Turns Blip mode on and off. Blip mode controls the display of
marker blips on the screen.
- Highlight.
Turns highlighting of selected objects on and off.
Snap
Controls Snap mode settings.
- On.
Turns Snap mode on and off.
- X
Spacing. Enter a value for the snap spacing in the X
direction.
- Y
Spacing. Enter a value for the snap spacing in the Y
direction.
- Snap
Angle. Enter a value by which you want to rotate the snap
grid.
- X
Base. Enter a value for the X basepoint for the snap
grid.
- Y
Base. Enter a value for the Y basepoint for the snap

direction.
- Y Spacing. Enter
a value for the grid spacing in the Y direction.
Isometric Snap/Grid
Controls ISO mode settings.
-
On. Changes the Snap and Grid orientation to isometric. This setting
facilitates drawing a 2D representation of a 3D isometric view
of an object using Snap, Grid, and the Isocircle option of the
ELLIPSE command.
- Left. Select a simulated XY plane.
- Top. Select a simulated XZ plane.
- Right. Select a simulated YZ plane.
