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.

Customize User Interface Elements
User interface elements in the Customize dialog box are used to control how
commands can be started.
Menus
Menus are displayed on the Mac OS menu bar and are used to organize
commands by general task.
Overview of Menus
Each menu can contain both standard and custom commands. Commands
can be grouped with separators and sub-menus. If a menu is longer than the
current display resolution in the vertical direction, it is truncated to fit.
