command name corresponds to a defined external command, that
command runs, and the search is complete.
5 AutoCAD for Mac checks the command name against the list of
commands defined by AutoLISP or ObjectARX applications. At this point,
an autoloaded command is loaded.
6 AutoCAD for Mac checks the command name against the list of system
variables. If the command name is in the list, AutoCAD for Mac executes
the SETVAR command, using the input as the variable name.
7 If the command name corresponds to a command alias defined in the
program parameters file, AutoCAD for Mac uses the expanded command
name and continues the search, starting a new search against the list of
built-in commands.
8 If all the preceding steps fail, the search terminates with a warning
message about illegal command names.

Multiple Drawing Folders
Keeping your drawing and other associated files in separate directories makes
it easier to perform basic file maintenance.
Keeping your drawing files and other associated files in separate directories
makes it easier to perform basic file maintenance. The scenario described in
this topic is based on the sample directory structure described in

(page 3), but you can expand or alter it to meet your needs.
You can set up the /AcadJobs directory to contain your drawing subdirectories.
The drawing subdirectories can contain other subdirectories that hold related
support files for a particular drawing type or job. The /AcadJobs/Job1/Support
directory can contain blocks and AutoLISP files specific to the drawing files
in /AcadJobs/Job1. Specifying support (with no path prefix) in the Support
path adds the support directory within the current directory to the Support
path.
To make sure that the required drawing directory is the current directory when
you start AutoCAD for Mac, and that all files and subdirectories in that
directory are easily accessible, you can create a program icon or a Start menu
item that specifies the correct working directory for each job. This functionality
