Using enhanced AutoCAD commands in IntelliCAD

IntelliCAD enhances several AutoCAD commands by providing more options. For example, if you hold down the Shift key, IntelliCAD is placed temporarily in orthogonal mode, which you will find to be a useful feature for drawing at right angles. The following table lists examples of other commands with enhanced options.
