Abstract: Basing on analysis of the existing methods to making figures and displaying principle for
drawings of AutoCAD software, uncontrolled phenomena of displaying effects of figures with
AutoCAD data format embedded in word documents are investigated by means of trial and error. The
study indicates that dimensions of drawing window and state information of view in AutoCAD software
are important factors to determine displaying effects of figures in documents during editing them. These
measurements, such as using the methods which can save entire view information to produce
illustrations, editing drawings under maximum displaying state of working interface of AutoCAD
software, restoring preliminary view state in time, keeping unchanged the environments of software and
hardware when editing drawing every time, et al. can make displaying effects of figures always
controllable, thereby to obviously improve editing efficiency when editing illustrations in documents.

Key words: computer application, efficient edit, trial and error, illustration in Word documents;
