In AutoCAD, what does the option 'Plots everything' refer to?

Extents
Display
Window
Layout

The correct answer is: Extents

The option 'Plots everything' in AutoCAD refers to the Extents setting. When using this option, AutoCAD will consider the full extent of all objects in the drawing area, regardless of their visibility on the screen. This means that when you select the Extents option while plotting or printing, AutoCAD automatically determines the boundary that includes every element in the drawing, resulting in everything being captured in the plot. This feature is particularly useful for comprehensive drawings where you want to ensure that no part of the design is omitted during the printing process. It provides a quick and efficient way to plot large, complex drawings without needing to manually adjust the plot boundaries to fit all items. Using other options such as Display, Window, or Layout would not achieve the same outcome as Extents. The Display option focuses more on what is visible in the current view, Window requires you to select a specific area manually, and Layout typically pertains to predefined layout views that may not encompass all drawing elements.
