Using AutoCAD Commands

Bentley Raceway and Cable Management includes a set of key-ins that let you use the AutoCAD command syntax to set system variables and initiate commands. These key-ins give users who are familiar with AutoCAD the option of using either AutoCAD or Bentley Raceway and Cable Management syntax.

You can enter the AutoCAD commands and system variables in three ways:

Key in the DWG prefix, then the AutoCAD command.
Key in the command prefix as defined by the configuration variable MS_DWG_COMMANDPREFIX, then the AutoCAD command. The default prefix is the backslash character (\).
Key in the command prefix, then a command alias as defined in a PGP file.

The table lists examples of AutoCAD commands and equivalent Bentley Raceway and Cable Management key-ins.
