AutoCAD "Command:" Prompt
In MicroStation, use the Key-in window (Utilities > Key-in) to manually enter commands. You can either type in commands or select them from the full-sized Key-in window. When you select command from the list on the left, applicable options are displayed in the adjoining column. To execute the command, click on the Run Key-in icon in the top right corner, or press <Enter>.
Command options are not displayed in the Key-in window; you enter them in the tool settings dialog box.
MicroStation includes a set of key-ins that let you use the AutoCAD command syntax to set system variables and initiate commands. These key-ins give you the option of using either AutoCAD or MicroStation syntax.
In MicroStation, there are three ways to enter AutoCAD commands and system variables:
Enter the DWG prefix, then the AutoCAD command. For example, to place a circle, enter DWG CIRCLE.
Enter the command prefix as defined by the configuration variable MS_DWG_COMMANDPREFIX, then the AutoCAD command. The default prefix is the backslash character (\). For example, to place a circle, enter \CIRCLE.
Enter the command prefix, then a command alias as defined in a PGP file. For example, to place a circle, enter \C (using PGP alias: C, *CIRCLE).
