NOTEWhen command input comes from a command, the settings of the PICKADD

and PICKAUTO system variables are assumed to be 1 and 0, respectively. This

preserves compatibility with previous releases of AutoCAD LT and makes

customization easier because you are not required to check the settings of these

variables.

Provide International Support in Macros

AutoCAD LT, precede each command or option with the underscore character

be translated automatically.
