An entity can be specified by typing in its name or selecting it from a menu. Autocad then prompts the user for the relevant parameters, like position, orientation, size and so on. The entity is drawn on the screen immediately after full information is entered. Then the next command, consisting of an entity's name, can be entered. There are functions to manipulate already drawn material.
Commands are available to erase, move, copy, print and position entities accurately.
