I am a newbie, be gentle.
I want to enter commands on the command line (which I have instantiated). In particular, I want to enter a command which accomplishes the following:
draw a dimension between 0.0,0.0 and 0.0,156.0
I have tried "DA 0,0 0,156" and various variations. But no joy!
This has got to be simple, but I cannot find the format for commands in the manual or by searching the forum for "enter commands".
Any help is appreciated.
how do I use the command line?

Re: how do I use the command line?
Hi,
There might be a way ...
But all depends ...
OS, settings, native separators ...
DA needs 3 references.
A one-liner "DA 0,0 0,156"
It is not what the command line is designed for.

Re: how do I use the command line?
DA for Aligned Dimension, is asking for ...
First extension Iine origin:
Answer for X;Y = 0;0
enter
Second extension Iine origin:
Answer for X;Y = 0;156
enter
Dimension Iine Iocation:
Answer for X;Y = 30;0
enter
qq
enter to end the tool
Workflow without the explanation would be:
DA
enter
0;0
enter
0;156
enter
30;0
enter
qq
enter
Make sure to use the correct separator (I used semicolon). Your setting can be found in Menu / Edit / Application Preferences
