CAD Commands

Overview

A CAD command in Embroidermodder is referred to as an action and the data needed for it to function is stored in the command_data. For a regular user who wishes to use more shortcuts and macros: a list of commands can be fed into the prompt similar to a GCODE file.

These are available on all platorms but with various levels of support and applicability.

For a table of all the commands, see the appendix (TODO).
