How to: Cycle AutoCAD commands

July 8, 2009 By 2 Comments

As a new AutoCAD user, you might found that AutoCAD has a lot of commands. Not to mention changing the system variables. Some (well, many…) of them have to be activated from command line.

It is very difficult to remember all of them. Even for experienced users. Don’t worry, you can just type some characters, and cycle between those commands!

For example, type ‘la’ to find out what commands started with them. Press TAB, keep pressing for several times. You will see the commands cycling in dynamic input (or command line).

Now you can guess how to activate the command from command line by typing several first characters then press TAB!
