Some of these commands are present in the AutoCAD command table, but are disabled, and therefore are not recognized as commands. They are included for the sake of completeness.
| Command | Introduced | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| *SCROLL | R12 | Resets the "pan" scroll bars. |
| .ACADSTATUS | pre R12 | Creates ACAD.SLG in same directory as ACAD.EXE. The file contains an internal status log. [You must precede this command with an extra period to use it at the command line.] |
| .ACLTSTATUS | R13 | Same as ACADSTATUS, except for AutoCAD LT. [You must precede this command with an extra period to use it at the command line.] |
| .SYSSTATUS | R14 | Does nothing. |
| -OLDMTEXT | R14 | Runs the R13 -MTEXT command. |
| ADIDUMP | R13 | Does nothing. |
| AXIS | pre R12 | It just tells you it's a discontinued command (remember AXISMODE?) |
| CONTENT | R14 | Does nothing. Could it be a prelude for the 'Content Explorer'? |
| CONVERTPOLY | R14 | Convert both ways between old style polylines and the new lightweight polylines. This is a very useful one! |
| DLGCOLOR* | R13 | Controls dialog colors in R13/DOS, does nothing in other versions. *This command is documented in R13, but not in R14. |
| DRGINSERT | R14 | Does nothing. |
| DUMPMEMALLOC | R13 | Provides internal memory information. |
| DVBIN | R14 | Does nothing. Probably intended for importing VBA macro. |
| DVBOUT | R14 | Does nothing. Probably intended for exporting VBA macro. |
| ENDSV | R12 | An interesting variant of END, with a warning about being unable to save vector files(?). |
| FILEOPEN | R12 | A command-line only variant of OPEN. In R13, this command is issued when selecting a file from the MRU file list in the 'File' menu. |
| KABOOM! | R13 | Does nothing. Looks fun, though! |
| KRISTI | R13 | Creates cat_acad.h and cat_acad.rc in the ACAD.EXE directory. These files contain resource definitions for all loaded toolbar buttons. They don't look very useful to me, but I'll bet Kristi needed them. |
| MAKEBLK | R14 | Does nothing. |
| OFFLINE | R13 | Warns that it is "not converted to AcDb yet", then does nothing. |
| OLDMTEXT | R14 | Runs the R13 MTEXT command. |
| OLDMTPROP | R14 | Runs the R13 MTPROP command. |
| PAINTER | R13 | Does nothing in R13, runs _MATCHPROP in R14. |
| PRPLOT | pre R12 | Tells you that it's a discontinued command (remember "printer plots"?) |
| RENDENV | R14 | Does nothing. |
| SETENV | R13 | Does nothing. |
| UNLOCK | R13 | Does nothing. |
| VIEWTOOLBAR | R13 | Does nothing. |
| XDRGINSERT | R14 | Does nothing. |
