Tips for Power Users
Chain commands: After finishing one drawing operation, the tool stays active (e.g., LINE continues drawing). Press Esc or Enter to exit.
Repeat last command: Press Enter or Space with no active tool to repeat the previous command.
Multiple selection then operate: Select several holes or entities first, then invoke a command like MOVE or DELETE to apply it to all of them at once.
Direct distance input: When Polar Tracking is active and you move the cursor in a constrained direction, type a number and press Enter to place a point exactly that distance away — no need to type @distance<angle.
