在前面的章节中已经了解到，许多常用的AutoCAD命令都具有别名。使用别名可以缩短命令长度，大大减少启动命令的时间，同时也方便记忆或满足个人习惯。AutoCAD命令的别名均可定义和保存，用户可以在该文件中为任何AutoCAD命令、设备驱动程序命令或外部命令定别名。
命令别名的定义格式为：
别名，*命令名
其中各项说明如下：
(1) 别名：即在AutoCAD系统的命令行中输入的命令别名。
(2) 命令名：用于创建别名的命令名，必须前面加“*”作为标识。
例如，查询面积的命令“AREA”的别名为“AA”，定义格式：
AA， *AREA
如果一个命令可以透明地输入，则其别名也可以透明地输入。当用户输入命令别名时，AutoCAD在命令提示中显示完整的命令名并执行该命令。
命令别名部分可包含带特殊的“-”前缀，这使用户可以创建别名来访问某些命令的命令行形式。
注意 不能在命令脚本中使用命令别名，同时建议不要在菜单文件中使用命令别名。
下面列出在“ACAD.PGP”文件中所定义的全部命令别名：
