Hi,

I'm trying to learn this software. Recenrly I was trying to tangent on two circle but when I enter "tan" on the command bar, it says it doesn't know the command. It is so strange! I'm using auto cad classic 2011. Is there anybody can help me with this?

"Tan" is not a command, it's an OSnap override.

Execute the desired command, then type "Tan"

 

On a side note, to make selecting OSnap overrides, you hold either the Control or Shift key down and right-click on the mouse. This will give you a list of all the available OSnap overrides to choose from; just selected which one you want to use.

I hold shift and then right-click on the mouse and then I click on tan. What happened on was that on the command bar says it does not know "tan". I receive this each time: _tan Unknown command "TAN". Press F1 for help..

You missed the first thing I said.:wink:
