Command reference

All 418 commands, by group. Type a command's name or one of its aliases at the command line and press Enter, or find it by name with ⌘K. Civil commands come first; the drafting commands after them work as in AutoCAD.

Commands with a dash in front (such as -IMPORTLANDXML) are the command-line forms of commands that normally open a dialog: they ask everything at the command line instead, which suits scripts.
