# AutoCAD Commands
This chapter describes the AutoCAD commands of the PlantTools and important commands of AutoCAD Plant 3D.
You can type each command on the AutoCAD command line. You can also use the commands in scripts, in PlantBatch (see [Implementing Counter](/plant-tools/plantbatch/how-to-use/configuration/implementing-counter.md)) and in the SymbolsPalette (see [Add AutoCAD/AutoLISP command](/plant-tools/plantexpresstools/how-to-use/symbolspalette/usage/add-autocadautolisp-command.md)). Most of the buttons in the ribbon start one of these commands.
Remark: Most PlantTools commands require a valid license of the PlantTools product they belong to. The AutoLISP functions of PlantExpressTools are described in [Functions for AutoLISP](/plant-tools/plantexpresstools/how-to-use/functions-for-autolisp.md).

### AutoCAD Plant 3D
These are important commands of AutoCAD Plant 3D itself. The links open the Autodesk help for AutoCAD Plant 3D 2027. Most commands work the same way in older versions; where a command is newer, the version is mentioned. All commands are listed in the [Autodesk command reference](https://help.autodesk.com/view/PLNT3D/2027/ENU/?guid=GUID-1EBED540-CEB4-494C-B10C-CE33B6723E51).
Remark: If a localized Plant 3D does not recognize a command, type it with a leading underscore, for example **\_PROJECTMANAGER**.
