42 | Chapter 3 The Command Window
Dock and Resize the Command Window
By default, the command window is docked. The docked command window
is the same width as the AutoCAD window. If text that is entered becomes
longer than the width of the command line, the window pops up in front of
the command line to show the full text of the line.
You can resize the window vertically by dragging the splitter bar, which is
located on the top edge of the window when it is docked on the bottom and
at the bottom edge of the window when it is docked at the top.
Undock the command window by dragging it away from the docking region.
When you undock the window, the floating window is the size it was before
you undocked it. You can move the floating command window anywhere on
the screen and resize its width and height with the pointing device.
Dock the command window by dragging it until it is over the top or bottom
docking regions of the AutoCAD window.
To float the command window
■ Click the move handle on the left edge of the docked command window
and drag the command window away from the docking region until it has
a thick outline. Then drop it in the drawing area of the AutoCAD window.
To make the floating command window transparent
1 Right-click in the floating command window, and click Transparency.
2 In the Transparency dialog box, move the slider to the left to make the
command window less transparent and to the right to make it more
transparent.
The range is from opaque to transparent. When the Turn Off Transparency
for All Palettes option is selected, the command window cannot be made
transparent.
Note Transparency is not available to Microsoft
