AutoCAD fans, our developers have created a new bonus tool for you to test drive up on our Labs site:
http://labs.autodesk.com/utilities/CommandComplete/
CommandComplete is ‘Intellisense’ for the AutoCAD command line, providing easy access to over 1400 commands and sysvars. As you type in the command prompt, a popup list appears displaying the list of commands and sysvars that match the input. This bonus tool can save AutoCAD command line power users a lot of typing.
The auto-complete list is based on one or more of the following (selectable) search criteria:
Start with your typed string -- Displays all matches where the command/sysvar begins with the text typed at the command line. For example, typing "LI" would list "LINE", "LIGHT", etc. (This base option is not selectable).
Anywhere search -- Displays all matches where the command/sysvar contains the typed text anywhere in its name. (For example, typing "LI" would list "LINE", "PUBLISH", "ALIGN", etc.
Keyword search -- Additional keywords can be defined in an XML file for every command. This option displays all commands/sysvars where the typed text is contained within one of your keywords. You can include keywords by editing the XML file.
Let us know what you think!
Thanks,
Eric
