COMMANDS

 TXT2MTXT = text to mtext convert (express tools)

 ATTSYNC = Attribute sync. Syncs revisions done to attribute text with a block. They do not
automatically fix upon saving the block. This command sets them to the correct locations within
the block and in the attribute editor dialog box.
 RTEXT = Text that can have DEISEL expressions to autofill variables
 BATTMAN = Block attribute manager
 ADCENTER = Design center
 LAYEREVALCTL = Setting to turn off unreconciled layers notifications (global setting)
 LAYMCUR = Set current layer to selected object layer
 MENUBAR = Old school AutoCAD menus on or off (1 = on, 0 = off)
 MAXSORT = Variable to control the drawings maximum number of layer (including all xref
layers). When there are many xrefs in a drawing the layers may not show up in alphabetical
order in the drop down menu. This variable can be set to 5000 and up to relieve the issue.
 LAYCUR = Set selected object to current layer
 SUPERHATCH = Custom hatch creator
 FILEDIA = Turns on (1) and off (0) dialog boxes forcing selections to the command line (global
setting) (For use with scripts that require commands that use dialog boxes as dialog boxes are
not compatible with scripts) For use in scripts with such commands turn this setting off (0) at the
start of the script and then back on (1) at the end)
 SCRIPT = Load a script (.SCR)
 NETLOAD = Loads a dialog box for plugins
 REINIT = Reloads .PGP file
 HIGHLIGHT = Variable control for selection highlighting (1 = on, 0 = off)
 TCOUNT = Creates a continuous string of numbers or letters (can potentially assist in mark#
creation)
 MULTIPLE = Allows the use of a command multiple times without having to re-enter the
command between uses. Esc will end the effect. Enter before the desired repeated command.
 ANNOMONITOR = Toggle for annotative monitoring of annotative dimensions. (-2) as SMI
default
 STARTMODE = Variable that controls the start menu. 1 = on 0 = off
 *-TOOLBAR = Brings up old school toolbars. Must know the EXACT name of the toolbar needed.
(Can use “draw” as default to bring up the draw toolbar and then select any other toolbars from
the right click toolbar list)

NON-COMMANDS

 DISAPPEARING DIALOGS = Sometimes users may issue a command and expect a

dialog to appear and it doesn't (and AutoCAD seems locked up). Often pressing the
escape key returns the command prompt. This can be caused by the user having
dragged a dialog to a screen location that is no longer available because of a second
monitor being disconnected or screen resolution being lowered.
 For those comfortable with RegEdit, you can find the dialog's coordinates in this
area.

Once the item is found, changing the first two numbers to 0,0 should push it back to
the upper left.
