You can resize the command window in AutoCAD by hovering your cursor over the top border of the command line box until a double-headed arrow appears. Click and drag the border up or down to your desired size.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Locate the Command Line: The command line is typically located at the bottom of the AutoCAD interface. It displays prompts, commands, and messages.
-
Hover for the Double-Headed Arrow: Move your mouse cursor to the top edge of the command line window. When the cursor is positioned correctly, it will change into a double-headed arrow (pointing both upwards and downwards).
-
Click and Drag: Once the double-headed arrow appears, click and hold the left mouse button. Drag the border up or down to increase or decrease the height of the command line window.
-
Release to Set Size: Release the mouse button when the command line window reaches your desired size.
Tips for Command Line Usability:
- Consider the Number of Lines: Adjust the height to display multiple lines of command history, which can be helpful for referencing previous commands.
- Docking/Floating: The command line can also be undocked (floated) and redocked within the AutoCAD interface, potentially allowing more flexible resizing. To dock or undock, grab the command line at its left most side, where is says 'Command', and simply drag and drop.
- Transparency: You can even adjust the command line to be slightly transparent. Right click on the command line, select 'Transparency'. You can adjust how transparent the command line is here.
