Check Spelling | 503
Create and Edit Custom Dictionaries
A custom dictionary is a list of spelling exceptions that you have identified.
The files that contain them can be identified by the .cus file extension. You
can use any ASCII text editor to add and delete words or to combine dictio-
naries. If a word is preceded by a tilde (~), AutoCAD always flags the word as
incorrect.
You also can create and edit dictionaries from inside AutoCAD.
To check spelling
1 From the Tools menu, choose Spelling.
2 Select the text objects you want to check, or enter all to select all text
objects.
3 If AutoCAD does not find any misspelled words, it displays a message. If
AutoCAD finds a misspelling, the Check Spelling dialog box identifies the
misspelled word.
4 Do one of the following:
■ To correct a word, select an alternate word from the Suggestions list or
type a word in the Suggestions box. Then choose Change or Change
All.
■ To leave a word unchanged, choose Ignore or Ignore All.
■ To leave a word unchanged and add it to the custom dictionary, choose
Add. (This option is not available unless a custom dictionary is
specified.)
5 Repeat step 4 for each misspelled word. Choose OK or Cancel to exit.
