- Default drawing directory is the one that involves sub directories containing the information using the windows commands. 

 

- AutoCAD uses the navigation paths to travel the directories and it adds a shortcut for the directories that doesn’t have a shortcut.

 

- The application can be highlighted that needs to be built in and then drag and drop features are used to place the application.

 

- The properties of the application are selected from the menu and dialog boxes used to display it on the front. 

 

- AutoCAD uses the directory system to use the commands like OPEN that allows the selection of the files and create the shortcut in default directories.
