Complete AutoCAD Commands
Command
Description
Options
ABOUT
Displays a dialogue box with AutoCAD
version & serial numbers
can be transparent
APERTURE
Controls the size of the Object Snap
"OSNAP") target box -- should set to 7
can be transparent
ARC
Draws an arc
...
Other
methods of drawing an arc can be
specified by three letters, such as
SEA, which means "Start Point, End
Point, and Included Angle
...
Also allows previewing
and replacing adjustments without
starting over each time
...
BREAK
Erases part of a line, arc or circle, or
splits it into two lines or arcs
F allows respecification of first point
CHAMFER
Creates a chamfer (a angled line
connection) at the intersection of two
lines
D Sets chamfer distances
A multifunctioning command which can
be used to alter the following:
1
...
radius of a circle
3
...
style, font, size, location,
rotation, and wording of text
entities
CHPROP
Modifies properties of selected objects:
layer, thickness, color and linetype -but not elevation
C Color
LA Layer
LT Linetype
T Thickness
CIRCLE
or
C
Draws a circle of any size
...
2P Specifies circle by picking 2 points on
the diameter
3P Specifies circle by picking 3 points
through which the circle will pass
D Allows entering the diameter dimension
instead of radius dimension
TTR Specifies circle by picking two
lines, arcs or circles for the circle to
be tangent to, and entering the
dimension of the radius
default)
COLOR
or COLOUR
Sets the current color for subsequently
drawn objects (objects drawn after the
command is invoked)
...
can be transparent
color to color number
entered
to color name entered
BYBLOCK sets floating
entity color
BYLAYER sets current
color to whatever color is
assigned to the current
layer
COMPILE
Compiles shape and font files More
than likely, you will never use this
command, unless you are creating
your own letter design or are creating
"shapes" to be used as commonly
used symbols in the drawing
...
You should not have to use this
command, since the configuration of
your system has already been done
and you will have no need to change it
...
M Allows multiple copies to be
made of an object
CP
DBLIST
Lists database information for every
entity in the drawing
DDATTDEF
Displays a dialogue box that allows
creation of an attribute definition for
textual information to be associated
with a block definition
I Controls attribute visibility
C Controls Constant/variable mode
V Controls verify mode
P Controls preset mode
DDATTE

box
DDATTEXT
Displays a dialogue box that extracts
data from a drawing
...
DDRMODES
Allows you to set drawing aids
variables through a dialogue box
can be transparent
DDRENAME
Allows you to rename layers, text
styles, linetypes, blocks, views, User
Coordinate Systems, viewport
configurations, and dimension styles
DDSELECT
Allows you to set entity selection
modes, size of the pickbox, and entity
sort method through a dialogue box
DDUCS
Allows you to save the current User
Coordinate System and give it a name
for future retrieval, or to select a UCS
that is already saved
DDUNITS
Allows you to set the unit type
(Architectural or Decimal), angle
display format (degrees-minutesseconds, or decimal degrees), and
precision of the units,
can be transparent
DELAY
This command is used with SCRIPT
files
...
can be transparent
DIM
Takes you out of the drawing editor
and into the semi-automatic
dimensioning program built into
AutoCAD
...
To get
back to the drawing editor and the
Command: prompt, type the
key
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
ALIGNED
Draws a linear dimension with
the dimension line parallel to the
selected dimension origin points
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
ANGULAR
Draws an arc and calculates the
angle between two non-parallel
lines, and draws the text and
arrowheads
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
BASELINE
Continues a linear dimension
from the baseline (the so-called
"first extension line") of the
previous or selected dimension
...
The
spacing between each dimension
line is controlled by the AutoCAD
variable DIMDLI ("Dimension
Line Increment"), which you
should set at 0 normally, but if
you use the baseline command,
you should reset to 1/8"
...
It is used to create a
so-called "string" of dimensions
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
DIAMETER
Draws a dimension through the
center of a circle or arc,
calculating the diameter, with one
of the arrow heads located at the
point on the circle or arc which is
picked
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
HORIZONTAL
Draws a horizontal linear
dimension line
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
LEADER
Draws an a line or series of lines
with an arrow head (commonly
called a "leader") to point to an
object to notate it
...
The most useful method of using
this command is to simply draw
leaders between the object to be
notated and text that you create
with the DTEXT command
...
However, once the
text has been changed, the
dimension will no longer be
associative
...
Useful in
dimensioning isometric drawings
...
Automatically
calculates the coordinates
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
RADIUS
Draws the radius dimension of an
arc or circle from the center to
the point on its locus where the
arc or circle was selected
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
RESTORE
Makes a dimension style current
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
ROTATE
Draws a linear dimension with
the distance measured origin
points, but with the actual
dimension line set at a different
angle
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
STATUS
Lists all dimension variables with
their current status
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
TEDIT
Allows moving text in associative
dimensions without having to
explode the dimensions
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
UNDO
Undoes any changes made by the
most recent dimensioning
command
...
DIM
Dimensioning sub-command:
VARIABLES
Lists the settings of dimension
variables associated with a
particular dimension style

eccentricity rotation rather than
length of second axis

back to DOS or WINDOWS
ERASE
Erases selected entities from the
drawing
or
E
EXPLODE
Separates a block, dimension or hatch
pattern into its constituent entities or
makes a polyline into a series of
straight lines
...
In the
case of a dimension or hatch pattern
that has been exploded, their parts go
back to the 0 layer, and are assigned
the logical color (BYBLOCK)
regardless of the layer they were
drawn on
...
EXTEND
Lengthens a line, arc, or polyline to
meet a specified "boundary edge"
FILES
Allows DOS disk and file utility tasks to
be done through a dialogue box
can be transparent
FILL
Controls whether solids, traces, wide
polylines, and donuts will be filled with
ink
...
Radius of the
arc to be constructed may be set to 0,
which will make a sharp corner
FILMROLL
Generates a file for rendering by
AutoShade, a separate program
GRAPHSCR
A "toggle
...
Default value is 0
...
GRID
Displays a rectangular grid of white
dots on the screen at a specified Xand Y- spacing
can be transparent
ON Turns grid display on
OFF Turns grid display off
S Locks grid spacing to SNAP
resolution
A Sets grid aspect (different X- and
Y- spacings
grid spacing for
both X- and Ycoordinates
grid spacing to
multiple "X" of
snap spacing
HANDLES
Assigns a unique, permanent number
to each entity of the drawing
ON Enables Handles
DESTROY Discards all
entity Handles
HATCH
Allows drawing of cross-hatching and
pattern filling
name from library file to fill
