How do you Enter Commands on the Command Line in GstarCAD?

Answer 1

You can enter a command by using the keyboard. Some commands also have abbreviated names called command aliases.

To enter a command by using the keyboard, type the full command name on the command line and press ENTER or SPACEBAR.

Specify Command Options

When you enter commands on the command line, you see either a set of options or a dialog box. For example, when you enter circle at the command prompt, the following prompt is displayed:

Specify center point for circle or [3P/2P/Ttr (tan, tan, radius)]:

You can specify the center point either by entering X,Ycoordinate values or by using the pointing device to click a point on the screen.

To choose a different option, enter the letters capitalized in one of the options in the brackets. You can enter uppercase or lowercase letters. For example, to choose the three-point option (3P), enter 3p.

Execute Commands

To execute commands, press SPACEBAR or ENTER, or right-click your pointing device after entering command names or responses to prompts. The instructions in Help assume this step and do not specifically instruct you to press ENTER after each entry.

Repeat and Cancel Commands

If you want to repeat a command that you have just used, press ENTER or SPACEBAR, or right-click your pointing device at the command prompt.

You also can repeat a command by entering multiple, a space, and the command name, as shown in the following example:

Command: multiple circle

To cancel a command in progress, press ESC.
