If you are the one who makes frequent spelling mistakes of command then this feature is for you. Autocorrecting spelling mistakes in command: If you want to turn off this search feature then uncheck the “Search content at command line” radio button from input search options window as mentioned in the tip above. For example on selecting DOOR layer from these options, it will become the current layer. Selecting any named object from the command line will make it the current object for the drawing. Let’s assume that we have a drawing with a layer named DOOR and a block named DOOR so if you type DOOR in the command line you will see that AutoCAD will suggest you two options one for block and other for layer DOOR. You can use the command line to search named objects like blocks, layer, dimension style etc directly without looking for them at the respective place. This feature can be great for finding the correct command but if you find this annoying then you can turn it off also.įor turning auto-complete off type INPUTSEARCHOPTIONS on the command line and uncheck the radio button in the Auto-complete panel as shown in the image below. When you type a command you will see a list of suggested commands starting with the letters as you type it and this list becomes more and more specific as you enter more letters on the command line. Starting from AutoCAD 2012 there is an auto-complete feature added to AutoCAD. You can also use UP and DOWN arrow key to toggle previously used commands when the desired command appears on command line press enter to select it. To insert a command from this list highlight it and then right-click a contextual menu will appear select Paste to Command line from this menu. On pressing the F2 key a pop-up will appear above command line with a list of all recently used commands and inputs. You can use CTRL+9 shortcut key combination to toggle the visibility of command line. Sometimes users accidentally turn off command line and then it becomes annoying to find no option for bringing it back.
