A number of abbreviations have been created to enable faster input of AutoCAD commands. Experienced drafters and operators find it faster to use abbreviations than hunt for the command in a hierarchy of nested menus. These shortcut macros can be optionally loaded within GeoTools by clicking on the GeoTools>>Load GeoTools command macros or can be setup to load automatically in the initialization file. The names and descriptions of these abbreviated commands are described below.
