Commands
A representative command guide organised around common CAD tasks.
How commands are organised
SFQcad groups commands around the job being done: annotation, blocks, layouts, drafting, cleanup, MEP and selected batch work. Use the SFQ ribbon to browse by category, or type a command directly when you know its name.
The list below is a representative command catalogue. The Manager installed with SFQcad is the source of truth for the complete command set and guidance in your installed version.

Using a command safely
- Read the choices shown at the command line.
- Select only the intended drawing objects or layouts.
- Use a copy of important drawings while learning a command.
- Undo immediately if the visible result is not what you expected.
- Report the exact command and error text if the same issue repeats.
