 Get in the habit of looking at the command line after every action you take. Efficient, confident use of AutoCAD requires that you continually glance from the drawing area to the command line (to see those all-important prompts) and then back up to the drawing area. This sequence isn’t a natural reflex for most people, and that’s why the Dynamic Input tooltip at the cursor was introduced. But you still get information from the command line that you don’t get anywhere else.

 When you click in the AutoCAD drawing area, you’re almost always performing an action. Clicking at random in the drawing area isn’t quite as harmless in AutoCAD as it is in many other Windows programs. AutoCAD interprets clicks as specifying a point or selecting objects for editing. If you get confused, press Esc a couple of times to clear the current operation and return to the waiting command line.

 You can still right-click. In most cases, you can right-click in the drawing area to display a menu with some options for the current situation.
