screen. You might have scroll bars below and to the right of the drawing area;
although they can be useful, they can also take up precious space in the draw-

you can remove them for now.
These features can be removed temporarily from the OPTIONS command. The
following steps will show you how:
1. To access the OPTIONS command graphically, click the Application
Menu button in the upper-left corner of the AutoCAD window, and then
click the Options button at the bottom of the menu (see Figure 1.14).
The OPTIONS command is also accessible from the command line by
entering OPTIONS ↵ .
FiGuRE 1.14 Click the Options button in the Application menu.
The Options dialog box (shown in Figure 1.15) opens. It has ten tabs
(LT has only eight) across the top that act like tabs on file folders.
2. Click the Display tab, which is shown in Figure 1.16. Focus on the
Window Elements section. If scroll bars are visible on the lower and
right edges of the drawing area, the Display Scroll Bars In Drawing
Window check box will be selected.
3. Click the check box to turn off the scroll bars. Also be sure the check box
for Display Screen Menu is not selected. Don't click the OK button yet.
