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 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.

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.
When a menu is truncated, two arrows are added to the menu; one is added
at the top and another to the bottom. With the arrows, you can scroll through
the list of menu items. Sub-menus areindicated on a menu by an arrow that
points to the right. When using a sub-menu, it appears to the right of its
associated menu item normally. If a sub-menu reaches the edge of the display,
additional nested sub-menus will be displayed to the left of the menu item.
Menu items on the Mac OS menu bar are executed by clicking it. Unlike a
menu item, you do not need to click a sub-menu to access the assigned menu
