4. Expand the Commands list, and then click the item labeled C near the top of the
command listing. The panel to the right changes to display a list of command names
that start with the letter C.

You also have the Concept, Procedure, and Quick Reference tabs along the top of the
panel on the right. These options provide more detailed information about how to use
the selected item. If you want to back up through the steps you have just taken, click the
Back button on the toolbar.
Using the Search Tab
If you’re a beginning AutoCAD user looking for help, the Help window’s table of contents
might not be as useful as it could be. To use it, you have to know a little about what you
want to find. Sometimes it’s quicker to use the Search feature of the Help window:
1. Click the Search tab in the left panel. If this is the first time you’ve selected the
Search tab, you might see a message telling you that AutoCAD is setting up an index
for searches.
2. Enter Change in the text box at the top of the Search tab, and then click Ask or
press ↵. The list box displays all the items in the Help system that contain the
word Change.
