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 [email protected]. 3D, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Z 3D Command Alias(es) 3DARRAY 3A 3DFACE 3F 3DORBIT 3DO, ORBIT 3DPOLY 3P Back to Top A Command Alias(es) ADCENTER ADC, DC, DCENTER, CONTENT ALIGN AL SAll thCATeCAPage 1 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htmAPPLOAD AP ARC A AREA AA ARRAY AR -ARRAY -AR ATTDEF ATT, DDATTDEF -ATTDEF -ATT ATTEDIT ATE, DDATTE -ATTEDIT -ATE, ATTE ATTEXT DDATTEXT Back to Top B Command Alias(es) BHATCH BH, H BLOCK B, ACADBLOCKDIALOG, BMAKE, BMOD -BLOCK -B BOUNDARY BO, BPOLY -BOUNDARY -BO BREAK BR Back to Top C Command Alias(es) CHAMFER CHA CHANGE -CH CHECKSTANDARDS CHK CIRCLE C COLOR COL, COLOUR, DDCOLOR COPY CO, CP Back to Top D Command Alias(es) DBCONNECT DBC, AAD, AEX, ALI, ASQ, ARO, ASE Page 2 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htmDDEDIT ED DDGRIPS GR DDVPOINT VP DIMALIGNED DAL, DIMALI DIMANGULAR DAN, DIMANG DIMBASELINE DBA, DIMBASE DIMCENTER DCE DIMCONTINUE DCO, DIMCONT DIMDIAMETER DDI, DIMDIA DIMDISASSOCIATE DDA DIMEDIT DED, DIMED DIMLINEAR DLI, DIMLIN, DIMHORIZONTAL, DIMROTATED, DIMVERTICAL DIMORDINATE DOR, DIMORD DIMOVERRIDE DOV, DIMOVER DIMRADIUS DRA, DIMRAD DIMREASSOCIATE DRE DIMSTYLE D, DST, DIMSTY, DDIM DIMTEDIT DIMTED DIST DI DIVIDE DIV DONUT DO, DOUGHNUT DRAWORDER DR DSETTINGS DDRMODES, DS, SE DSVIEWER AV DVIEW DV Back to Top E Command Alias ELLIPSE EL ERASE E EXPLODE X EXPORT EXP EXTEND EX EXTRUDE EXT Back to Top F Page 3 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htmCommand Alias FILLET F FILTER FI Back to Top G Command Alias GROUP G -GROUP -G Back to Top H Command Alias HATCH -H HATCHEDIT HE HIDE HI Back to Top I Command Alias(es) IMAGE IM -IMAGE -IM IMAGEADJUST IAD IMAGEATTACH IAT IMAGECLIP ICL IMPORT IMP INSERT I, INSERTURL, DDINSERT -INSERT -I INSERTOBJ IO INTERFERE INF INTERSECT IN Back to Top Page 4 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htmL Command Alias(es) LAYER LA, DDLMODES -LAYER -LA -LAYOUT LO LEADER LEAD LENGTHEN LEN LINE L LINETYPE LT, LTYPE, DDLTYPE -LINETYPE -LT, -LTYPE LIST LI, LS LTSCALE LTS LWEIGHT LINEWEIGHT, LW Back to Top M Command Alias(es) MATCHPROP MA, PAINTER MEASURE ME MIRROR MI MLINE ML MOVE M MSPACE MS MTEXT MT, T -MTEXT -T MVIEW MV Back to Top O Command Alias(es) OFFSET O OPEN OPENURL, DXFIN OPTIONS OP, PREFERENCES OSNAP OS, DDOSNAP -OSNAP -OS Back to Top Page 5 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htmP Command Alias(es) PAN P -PAN -P -PARTIALOPEN PARTIALOPEN PASTESPEC PA PEDIT PE PLINE PL PLOT PRINT, DWFOUT PLOTSTAMP DDPLOTSTAMP POINT PO POLYGON POL PREVIEW PRE PROPERTIES CH, MO, PR, PROPS, DDCHPROP, DDMODIFY PROPERTIESCLOSE PRCLOSE PSPACE PS PUBLISHTOWEB PTW PURGE PU -PURGE -PU Back to Top Q Command Alias QLEADER LE QUIT EXIT Back to Top R Command Alias(es) RECTANG REC, RECTANGLE REDRAW R REDRAWALL RA REGEN RE REGENALL REA REGION REG RENAME REN Page 6 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htm-RENAME -REN RENDER RR REVOLVE REV ROTATE RO RPREF RPR Back to Top S Command Alias(es) SAVE SAVEURL SAVEAS DXFOUT SCALE SC SCRIPT SCR SECTION SEC SETVAR SET SHADEMODE SHA, SHADE SLICE SL SNAP SN SOLID SO SPELL SP SPLINE SPL SPLINEDIT SPE STANDARDS STA STRETCH S STYLE ST, DDSTYLE SUBTRACT SU Back to Top T Command Alias(es) TABLET TA TEXT DT, DTEXT THICKNESS TH TILEMODE TI, TM TOLERANCE TOL TOOLBAR TO TOOLPALETTES TP TORUS TOR Page 7 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htmTRIM TR Back to Top U Command Alias(es) UCS DDUCS UCSMAN UC, DDUCS, DDUCSP UNION UNI UNITS DDUNITS, UN -UNITS -UN Back to Top V Command Alias VIEW V, DDVIEW VPORTS VIEWPORTS -VIEW -V VPOINT -VP Back to Top W Command Alias(es) WBLOCK W, ACADWBLOCKDIALOG -WBLOCK -W WEDGE WE Back to Top X Command Alias XATTACH XA XBIND XB -XBIND -XB XCLIP XC Page 8 of 9AutoCAD 2004 Command Aliases - Parsai10/29/2007http://www.caddigest.com/subjects/autocad/tutorials/select/parsai_commands_2004.htmAbout the Author Alireza Parsai is the founder of cadpanel.com.
