FILLMODE

Using this system variable you can turn off or on the visibility of filled area
in hatches or wide polylines by changing its value to 0 or 1 respectively.
By turning the FILLMODE to off you can enhance the performance of
AutoCAD by limiting resources consumed on regenerating the  filled
geometries.

You need to regenerate the drawing using REA command after changing
this system variable to see its effect on the drawing.

APERTURE

This system variable controls the area of influence of object snap. The
aperture size as defined by this system variable is the area of the square
under which the point will be selected if the cursor is brought into it. The
default value of this aperture is 10 but depending on the complexity of
the drawing you can change this value between 1-50.

The size of the aperture is relative to the current scale of the screen and
it is not an absolute value. In the image below the red box (not visible in
AutoCAD) is the aperture size for two values 10 and 50 respectively.

takes to save a drawing. This system variable also affects file size of
AutoCAD drawings and its compatibility with other softwares.

By decreasing the value of this system variable you can increase its
compatibility with other softwares and it also decreases the size of the
CAD file but the time consumed in save operation generally increases.
When you increase the value of this system variable opposite happens.

The default value of this system variable is 50 and it can  be changed

from 0 to 100.

SELECTIONPREVIEW

When hovering the cursor over any object a preview will appear if the
value of this system variable is set to 3. You can remove this preview

you with the save dialogue box before closing all unsaved drawings and it
will take you to start screen after closing all of the drawings.

FILEDIA

This system variable suppresses the dialog box that opens up when
invoking certian commands like Save, Save As and Export. The default
value of this system variable is 1 which allows the dialog box to open.
When you, however, change the value of this system variable to 0 the
command will run on the command line and the dialog box will not open.

AUDIT

This command should be used for removing errors from your drawing. It is
always a good practice to keep checking your drawing file with AUDIT tool

Using this command you can bring TEXT, Dimensions and Leader lines on
the front of all underlying objects like hatches. This command is
especially helpful if you want to bring multiple annotations to the front of
all drawings objects without changing their draw order selectively.

PUBLISH

Using this command you can print multi-sheet files directly, unlike
PLOT command which only plots single sheet this command will allow you
to plot multiple sheets or even all of the sheets of the drawing directly.

ISOLATE

Using this command you can hide all objects from the drawing area
except the selected objects. By hiding unnecessary objects from drawing
you can get a clean work area. To bring back all the hidden object back to
the drawing select UNISOLATE or UNHIDE command.

HIDEOBJECTS

This command is similar to ISOLATE command but in this case, you can
hide selected objects keeping remaining objects visible. In this case, also
you can bring back hidden objects by using UNHIDE or UNISOLATE
command.

GROUP

Using this command you can group multiple objects as a single unit. This
command is great for making groupings of the similar type of objects like
a group of similar blocks. To break this group you can use UNGROUP
command.

FIELD

Fields are dynamic text information which can add a lot of intelligence to
your drawing by keeping data interlinked and updated. Fields are
extensively used in the sheet set and layout drawings and they can be
used to automate a lot of information in AutoCAD drawings.

You can start the Field window using FIELD command of AutoCAD.

WBLOCK

If you want to export a certain part of your drawing or any of its blocks to
an external file then you can use write block tool or its command
equivalent WBLOCK.

3D Commands

This section has some noteworthy AutoCAD 3D commands related to

solid, surface and mesh modelling. You might be familiar with many of

[Link] 44/93
27/08/2021 150 AutoCAD Command and Shortcut list, PDF eBook included

these commands but there are also many commands which are not
frequently used despite their great features.

THICKEN

Using this command you can convert a surface into a 3D solid by adding
thickness to it.

CONVTOSOLID

Using this command you can convert 3D mesh and watertight objects
made with surfaces to 3D solid and you can also control whether
converted solid is smooth or faceted.

POLYSOLID

Using this command you can make a 3D wall-like shape as shown in the
image here, you can also define height and thickness of this poly solid
using command line options.

DELOBJ
[Link] 45/93
27/08/2021 150 AutoCAD Command and Shortcut list, PDF eBook included

This system variable controls the behaviour or 2D curves when 3D tools

like Extrude, Presspull and Sweep is used. You can change the value of
this system variable so that AutoCAD either retains or deletes curves
after converting them to 3D.

More about this system variable can be found in this AKN article.

VOLUME

Using this command you can find the volume of a 3D solid as well as lots
of other information like its moment of inertia, radius of gyration, centroid,
and products of inertia.

XEDGES

You can extract edges of a 3D solid as 2D geometries using this tool. In

the image shown here the XEDGES tool has been used to extract the
edges of the 3D solid and then the solid geometry has been moved to
reveal the edges only.

27/08/2021 150 AutoCAD Command and Shortcut list, PDF eBook included

REGEN3

This command was introduced in AutoCAD 2017.1 update and it is

especially helpful in removing the 3D graphics related anomalies and
surface tessellations.

SECTIONPLANE

Using this command you can create a section plane in the drawing that
can be used to see the 3D drawings by sectioning them along different
planes.

FLATSHOT

This command is great for converting a 3D drawing into 2D and using this
command you can also create multiple views of a single 3D drawing like
the front, top and isometric on a single plane. To know more about this
command follow the related article.

Related: How to make 2D from 3D drawing in AutoCAD

INTERFERE

This command can be used to detect intersecting 3D solids. The

command is especially useful in situations where you want to detect
clashes between different solids like pipes and walls.

PROJECTGEOMETRY

[Link] 48/93
27/08/2021 150 AutoCAD Command and Shortcut list, PDF eBook included

Using this command you can project a 2D curve on a 3D surface, solid or

region as shown in the animated image below.

Shell (SOLIDEDIT)

Using this command you can convert a 3D solid into a hollow solid with a
wall thickness. To use this command type  SOLIDEDIT on the command
line press enter type B press enter again type S and press enter
again.  Alternatively, you can also select the shell tool from Solid editing
panel of the Solid tab.

SURFPATCH

Using this command you can fill the open areas of a surface like the top
of a cylinder as shown in the animated image below.

case, it will trim surfaces instead of 2D geometries.

3DALIGN

Using this command you can align a 3D solid object with respect to
another 3D solid, this video explains the use of this command in detail.

SURFOFFSET

Using this command you can offset any surface inside, outside or on both
sides of the surface as shown in the animated image below.

SOLIDHIST

Using this tool you can record the history of solids on which boolean
operations are performed and you can modify these solids later.

In the image below Subtract operation is performed on two solids and

then the amount of removed part is changed by selecting the Cone by
pressing CTRL key then changing its base radius.

[Link] 52/93
27/08/2021 150 AutoCAD Command and Shortcut list, PDF eBook included

By default, the value of this system variable is 0 which keeps this feature
off but you can turn it on by changing its value to 1.

IMPRINT

Using this command you can imprint 2D drawings on planar faces of a 3D

solid or a surface to create additional faces for 3D tools like Presspull.
