Express Tools

Express Tools are additional productivity tools originally developed by users. They extend the power of AutoCAD’s basic commands and cover a wide range of functions. All Express Tools can be entered at the command line; some are accessible through the Express Tools tab of the ribbon, the Express pull-down menu, and the Express toolbars.

Express Tools are automatically installed with a full software installation or a custom installation with the Express Tool option selected. To activate Express Tools, enter EXPRESSTOOLS at the command line to load the library of tools. If the Express menu is not present, enter EXPRESSMENU to display the menu.
