Command line commands

Hi, New to LibreCAD here but long time CAD user for various drawing/drafting tasks.

This package is looking really great ! I am so excited to have found this. Thanks so much to the community.

I am wondering if there is a list of commands somewhere that the command line accepts...

For instance, I try to type zoom to open up the various zoom-tools but that doesn't do it. Maybe the commands are different or maybe I can dig around in the src repo and find a list somewhere if it works like that.

This is awesome! Thanks for the great package!

Cheers,
jb

ps. I am currently running with the most recent (RC1) windows release candidate on a vista system.

Hi, I'm new to LibreCAD as well.  I had used AutoCAD and IntelliCAD in the past.

I not having too much trouble finding commands via the menu, toolbars etc., but just how do you implement a command on a given selection?

e.g., I want to mirror two lines.  I select "mirror" toolbar button, and select the two lines (I've also tried reversing the order of these two operations).  Then what?  I right-click (as in ACAD or Intelli), nothing happens.  How do I tell it I'm done selecting?  How do I tell it what the mirror line is?

Same with moving or copying.  How do I tell it I'm done selecting objects, and ready to specify a place to move/copy to?

Here is a small screencast how to mirror objects:


Move/copy works much like the same.

Aha! so that little green double-arrow button is the key to the next step.

Thanks!

Thanks for screencast, but doesn't seem to help me because you  are selecting objects (circles in your example).
What I want to do is select a group of lines, choose a mirror line and ..... Mirror. Can't fathom out why Librecad won't let me do what I used to do in Qcad.
Would appreciate some help on this.

Also, why is there no Delete Segment command in the Modify menu?
