Autocad commandline

Autocad commandline

Autocad commandline

(OP)
What is the difference between the following on the command line:

zoom
_zoom
'_zoom

I have a friend who is learning Autocad from a book and she is curious as to what these notations mean (and why they produce the same result).

Cheers. Sean.

RE: Autocad commandline

Hi Sean,

zoom is the command in the language of your acad-version.
_zoom is the englisch command.
Example: _line = linie (German)

'zoom is the transparent command. You can use it during an another command.
Example: _circle -> 'zoom -> ...etc
try it without the apostroph _circle -> _zoom

HTH, Lothar
