There are many drag and drop features in AutoCAD and it’s verticals that are not documented. Not only can we drag and drop drawing (.dwg) files you can also do the same with lisp, script, images, pdf, and even text files. Let’s explore how you can develop it, drag it, and finally drop it in AutoCAD.
you can drag and drop drawing files into your current drawing since this is the primary type of file used in AutoCAD.
You can drag drawing files right onto the application menu (big red A) or the start tab and you will open that drawing up in a new window.
This method proves effective when you have windows explorer open and you are browsing through files to locate the one you would like to open.
AutoCAD provides a way to drag and drop the elements by the use of noun and verb that allows the object to move from one place to another. - AutoCAD provides an option to rotate or erase the selected object and allows the action to be taken on the application. - The editing functions like MOVE and ERASE can be used to provide the erasing of the objects and noun/verb. - Open the system option dialog box and choose from there Noun/Verb and turn it on from the menu bar. - The selection tab can be selected by using the noun/verb selection of the options with the mouse clicks and opening of the menus.
