AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases
By Alireza Parsai,
April 2, 2003 Command aliases are alternative names for AutoCAD commands.
For example you can invoke the LINE command by entering L in command line. There
is no need to type the complete name. Some commands have more than one alias.
For instance CO and CP are both aliases for COPY. Some command aliases are
longer than the command name. For example RECTANGLE is an alias for RECTANG. A
good knowledge of command aliases can increase you speed in entering the
commands at keyboard.
Unfortunately the AutoCAD 2004 online help does not contain
the list of command aliases. Below, you will find a complete list of command
aliases as they are defined in the default AutoCAD Program Parameters file (ACAD.PGP).
I will explain this file in a future article.
If you wish to
receive the list as a help file, please send an email request to
alireza@khawarizmi.com.
