Transparent Commands
You can use the command line to access a second command without leaving
the first command. To use a command transparently, type an apostrophe (’)
before the command name on the command line. For example, if you are
using LINE to draw a line, you can type ’zoom (’z) or ’pan (’p) to change the
view of the drawing and the LINE command remains active. After you have
finished using a command transparently, the suspended command
continues.
Note The only commands that you can use transparently are commands that
do not select or create objects, or commands that do not regenerate or end
drawings.
Establishing Settings
Early in a project you should establish the following settings:
■ User preferences
■ Drawing settings
■ Prototype settings
■ Data file settings
Note When you start a new drawing, you also set up the drawing for units,
zone, sheet size, and so on. For more information, see “Setting Up Drawings” on
page 30.
User Preferences
The User Preferences control three main aspects of the program: file paths,
drawing setup method, and AutoCAD overrides.
