All commands

Every command MD Automation adds to AutoCAD, in one place. 21 licensed commands across five plugins, plus the settings commands and the shared Licence Manager.

All of them require AutoCAD 2025 or later on 64-bit Windows, run from the MD Plugins ribbon tab, and are unlocked by a perpetual per-plugin licence with a free 15-day trial.

Command What it does
MDLICENSEMANAGER Opens the Licence Manager: start a trial, request a licence key, or validate one.
  • 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 ZOOM does.)
  • 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…SETTINGS command 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.
