Did you know that if you use commands such as copy,trim or rotate etc,if you enter "foobar" at the command line when asked to select objects it will show you all the available selection methods for that command. :)

Hi...

I do not understand what is "foobar", but know that if you enter the line of commandos of AutoCAD any thing that does not recognize, for example in commando Copy, this by defect showed the methods available of selection. :arrow: You knew that when executes a routine LISP and this has options like for example:


(initget "A B C D")
&#40;setq sel &#40;getkword "Selects &#91;A/B/C/D&#93; <A>&#58; "&#41;&#41;

In the line of commandos, when it shows the following thing:

Command&#58;
Selects &#91;A/B/C/D&#93; <A>&#58;

Then if you with mouse it presses with the right button on the screen it showed all the options to him (A, B, C or D). Whenever the variable of system SHORTCUTMENU this in value 11.

It's not just "foobar", it's every word ACAD doesn't recognize, like "poopoo" or "buenosdiasseniorhyposmurf".
