Prompt Menus

Bricscad commands often provide several options. These options appear in the status bar or command bar and also in a prompt menu, which initially displays in the top right corner of the screen. Choose the appropriate option by clicking in the prompt menu.

Whether a prompt menu displays and its location is controlled through the PROMPTMENU settings variable.
