Which plotting option in AutoCAD focuses solely on the elements seen on the interface?

Display
Window
Extents
Layout

The correct answer is: Display

The plotting option that focuses solely on the elements seen on the interface is the Display option. When you select Display for plotting, it captures and prints everything that is currently visible on the screen in the AutoCAD interface. This includes all objects, drawings, and any annotations that are part of the current viewport. This option is particularly useful when you want to create a plot that reflects exactly what has been set up visually in the workspace, without having to deal with other settings or dimensions. It allows the user to produce an output that is a direct representation of what they see, simplifying the plotting process when the on-screen content needs to be directly translated to paper or a PDF. In contrast to Display, other options like Window and Extents define specific selections or extents of the drawing area rather than focusing on the visible screen elements. The Layout option typically refers to a specific page setup that can include various viewports, and while it does involve visible elements, it is more about the setup than the direct output of what is currently on the interface. Therefore, Display is the most accurate choice for this question.
