Create Tooltips for Commands
Tooltips are descriptive messages that are displayed near the cursor when it
hovers over a tool set tool.
The Description property associated to a command provides a simple
description for what the command does. The value of the Description property
is displayed as part of a basic tooltip that is displayed when the cursor hovers
over a tool set tool. Along with the description, the name of the command is
also displayed.

Create and Manage Images for Commands
Images can be assigned to commands, and can be of two different types:
standard and custom. Standard images come with AutoCAD for Mac in a
library, while external raster images can be assigned to commands in the
Customize dialog box.
Assign Images to a Command
Standard and custom images can be assigned to a command.
When a command is added to a tool set, the assigned image is displayed on
the tool.
AutoCAD for Mac comes with a library of standard images that are used for
the standard commands; these can be assigned to your own custom commands.
You can create your own custom commands using an external image editor.
