Show your interviewer that even if you disagree with your manager, you are still able to work with him or her to get the project done. Avoid implying that your previous manager was 'wrong' and never accuse your previous manager of doing his or her job poorly.

"I did a significant amount of AutoCAD drafting work in a previous position I held. Oftentimes, my manager would want the drawings done a certain way, when I thought they should be done a different way. As it turned out, most of the difference was due to personal preference; for example, she preferred straight call-out arrows whereas I thought the spline call-out arrows looked best. Because she was the manager, we went with her opinion and we didn't have any trouble finishing projects on-time. Additionally, I learned the importance of having company-wide AutoCAD standards to avoid situations like this in the future."
