Things that are true of every command
Section titled “Things that are true of every command”- Pick-first selection. Objects already selected when you run a command that edits objects are used directly, the way AutoCAD’s own modify commands behave. Otherwise you are prompted to select.
- One undo step. Each editing command runs in a single transaction, so a single Ctrl+Z, or
one click of the Undo arrow on the Quick Access Toolbar, reverts everything it did. (Trackpad
gestures change the view rather than the drawing, and cost one undo step each, the way a
ZOOMdoes.) - French AutoCAD. Prompts and keywords are localised, and the English global command names always work as well.
- Autocomplete. Every command appears in AutoCAD’s command-line autocomplete, with its icon.
- Settings persist. Every
MD…SETTINGScommand writes once, at the end of its walk, so a run you abandon changes nothing. Preferences are saved per Windows user and survive closing AutoCAD.
