Create, Edit, and Reuse Commands
Concept Procedure Quick Reference
 
 
 

You can create a new command from scratch, copy an existing command to create a new command, or edit the properties of an existing command. When you create or edit a command, the properties you can define are the command name, description, extended help file, command display name, macro, tags, element ID (for new commands only), and small or large image.

When you change any properties of a command in the Command List pane, the command is updated for all interface items that reference that command.
