List of tools - Introduction to AutoCAD 2011: 2D and 3D Design - page 421

Introduction
AutoCAD 2011 allows the use of over 1000 commands (or tools). A
selection of the most commonly used from these commands (tools) is
described in this appendix. Some of the commands described here have not
been used in this topic, because this topic is an introductory text designed
to initiate readers into the basic methods of using AutoCAD 2011. It is
hoped the list will encourage readers to experiment with those tools not
described in the topic. The abbreviations for tools which have them are
included in brackets after the tool name. Tool names can be entered at the
command line in upper or lower case.
A list of 2D commands is followed by a listing of 3D commands. Internet
commands are described at the end of this listing. It must be remembered
that not all of the tools available in AutoCAD 2011 are shown here.
The abbreviations for the commands can be found in the fi le acad.pgp
from the folder: C:\Autodesk\AutoCAD_2011_English_Win_32bit_
SLD\x86\acad\en-us\Acad\Program Files\Root\UserDataCache\
Support .
Not all of the commands have abbreviations.
