The opposite corners are shown in the below image: Why we need limits? It tests only the points we enter, so we cannot specify the points outside the grid limits. But portions of circles and other objects can extend outside the grid limits. The current value of limits is maintained for the next time when we turn ON the limits. Press Enter or spacebar. Write the coordinates of the lower-left corner. For example, 0,0. The coordinates for the lower-left are usually the coordinates of origin for better understanding.
We can also modify the coordinates according to the requirements. Press Enter. Write the coordinates of the upper-right corner. For example, , Write Z. Here Z signifies Zoom.
Write E. Here, E signifies Extend. Now, we can quickly create drawings within the dimensions mentioned above. Note: The dimensions of a figure should be within the specified limits. If it is greater, we can re-specify the limits according to the requirements. Let's understand limits with few examples. Example 1: Draw a rectangle of dimension x Here, the length of the rectangle is , and the width is Write the coordinates of the lower-left corner 0, 0.
Write the coordinates of the upper-right corner , You can also increase the limits according to your choice. Type Rec or Rectangle on the command line. Specify the first corner point on the viewport. Specify the length and breadth of the rectangle in the form of length, width.
For example, , Press Enter. Using above steps, the rectangle will be created. Example 2: Draw two adjacent squares of side You can set the coordinates according to the choice.
This is very useful if you have to draw within a defined area. Schematic drawing is not to scale. So setting the boundary and having guides would be very useful. There are 3 options that you can use. The default is to specify the drawing limits. To define the drawing limits, you can pick points or type the coordinate. In below example, I set the drawing limits from 0,0 to , It is the size of A3 paper size. By default, the limits checking is off. That is why you can still draw outside of the boundary.
Now try to draw any object outside of the boundary. Now you only can draw within the drawing limits! We can use grid snap to work together with limits. Open the snap settings by clicking the grid snap icon, then choose snap settings….
You can also set the grid spacing in this category. Second, you can force the cursor to snap to grid. This will make the drawing limits more obvious. The grids will help to complete the drawing within the boundary. By setting the limits and grid snap, you can easily draw schematic drawing now.
Not only you can see the drawing area easily, you can draw with specific unit distance easily. Without having to type the distance. The grid spacing in this example was set to 5. So when you move your cursor, you will only can click distance 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on.
But it definitely not obsolete, we can still get the advantage of using it. In this example, in creating schematic drawing. I believe there are some other types of drawings can use it.

Thanks very much for answering my question about how and where!!
