Basic Drawing Commands

1. LINE – Draws a straight line segment.


2. PLINE – Creates a polyline, which is a connected sequence of line segments treated as
a single object.
3. CIRCLE – Draws a circle by specifying the center point and radius.
4. ARC – Draws an arc, useful for creating rounded shapes.
5. RECTANGLE – Creates a rectangle by specifying two opposite corners.
6. ELLIPSE – Draws an ellipse or an elliptical arc.
7. POLYGON – Creates a closed shape with a specified number of sides.
8. SPLINE – Draws a smooth curve that passes through or near specified points.

Modify Commands

1. MOVE – Moves selected objects to a different location.


2. COPY – Creates a duplicate of selected objects.
3. ROTATE – Rotates selected objects around a base point.
4. MIRROR – Creates a mirror image of selected objects across a specified axis.
5. OFFSET – Creates a parallel copy of objects at a specified distance.
6. TRIM – Trims objects to meet the edges of other objects.
7. EXTEND – Extends objects to meet the edges of other objects.
8. SCALE – Scales objects by a specified factor from a base point.
9. FILLET – Rounds or fillets the edges of two objects at a specified radius.
10. CHAMFER – Creates a beveled edge between two lines.
11. EXPLODE – Breaks a complex object (like a block or polyline) into simpler components.

Annotation and Dimensioning Commands

1. TEXT – Adds single-line text to a drawing.


2. MTEXT – Adds multiline text with advanced formatting options.
3. DIM – Automatically creates dimensions (linear, aligned, radial, angular, etc.).

them.

and centers.

blocks for additional data.
