What's the most obscure, least known command that you know and will share?

[jaberwok]

that reminds me - CHPROP

It's hard to think of any because if you use them, then they aren't obscure to you!!

How about lengthen. I use it to tell me the distance of a line (type lengthen and pick a line, it shows it's length), and also to ........well.........lengthen a line to an exact length. With dynamic input, it's sorta obsolete now, but it still works.

I still use OOPS on occasion.

Point filters are probably one of the best tips any one ever gave me. They are great whether you are working in 2D or 3D. You can use Otrack, Polar, etc. for what point filters do, but for a one time need it is so much easier to just type in .x or .y and pick your points and keep moving. You can spend a lot of time picking the correct osnap settings, putting otrack on, etc. when you can just use the point filter and you are done.

Just discovered another one: TCIRCLE
Check this thread out.
I thought it was very cool, I had never heard of it before.

[jmctamney]

^^ That still works?
I thought of another one:
MULTIPLE
Type this (and hit enter) before a command, and it will repeat the command until you cancel out of it.

SWEET!!!!!

Could have used this one oh.....8 years ago when I wrote my lisp routine for multiple fillet.

I still use point filters in 3D .xy , .yz and .zx and some sketch

Let's not forget about all the cool AEC modify tools under the right click menu. Obscure is pretty nice. And AEC trim lets you pick a wall component to trim or extend to.

And how about the shell command for solids? That's a nice one too.

OOOOH, and have you ever needed to snap to a hatch patter? OR ever wanted to turn it off? osnaphatch is a nice little variable.

Then there's publishallsheets, which lets you set whether publish plots the layouts of all the drawings that are open, or just the current drawing layouts.

Point filters?

I have to burn the midnight oil tonight. I use Osnap and Otrack and as you said I'm constantly changing the settings.... I'll give this one a shot...Now!
I'll try out the other commands too... just not as soon as I would like.

Thanks
