Drafting Aids & Precision Controls: The Complete Guide

Introduction

AutoCAD’s Drafting Aids & Precision Controls are the tools that ensure every point, angle, and alignment in your drawing is placed exactly where it belongs. These features — including Object Snaps, Ortho Mode, Polar Tracking, Object Snap Tracking, and Dynamic Input — elevate your accuracy and dramatically improve your efficiency.

Whether you're laying out a site plan, detailing a floor framing system, or drafting mechanical components, these tools work behind the scenes to provide consistent, predictable, and precise control over how your cursor behaves and where your geometry lands.
