Study Notes

Commands and Utilities in Drawing Management

DX (DATAEXTRACTION): Extracts drawing data and merges with external data sources.
E (ERASE): Removes selected objects from a drawing.
ED (DDEDIT): Edits attributes such as text and feature control frames.
EL (ELLIPSE): Generates ellipses and elliptical arcs.
EPDF (EXPORTPDF): Exports a drawing as a PDF document.
ER (EXTERNALREFERENCES): Opens the External References palette for managing linked files.
EX (EXTEND): Extends objects to intersect with other objects' edges.
EXIT (QUIT): Exits the program.
EXP (EXPORT): Saves drawing objects in a different file format.
EXT (EXTRUDE): Converts 2D objects into 3D shapes by extending their dimensions.

Drawing Features Management

F (FILLET): Rounds edges of objects.
FI (FILTER): Applies selection criteria to include only certain objects.
FS (FSMODE): Creates a selection set of objects touching the selected object.
FSHOT (FLATSHOT): Generates a 2D view of 3D objects from the current perspective.
G (GROUP): Manages sets of objects as a single entity for easier manipulation.
