Drawing commands

Inside a drawing the command bar takes typed commands for tools, layouts, media and reports. Case does not matter and most have short forms.

On the drawing canvas the command bar at the bottom also runs commands. Away from the canvas it is the search and create bar (see Search and the command bar). Type a command and press return. Commands are not case sensitive, the field clears after each one, and suggestions appear as you type. The mic button dictates a command instead.
