Aliases
Tools > Options > Aliases
Aliases run individual Rhino commands or scripts.
You can type command aliases just like normal Rhino commands. You can use them to create abbreviations for often used commands or command scripts. You can also use them to make Rhino share command names with another product.
-
Use the OptionsExport and OptionsImport commands for sharing these settings with other Rhino applications.

Hidden options
These options are English-only hidden command options. They can be used whenever Rhino is asking for a point.
These options:
- Do not work as aliases.
- Work as a part of a script.

- Many have several variations to support older names.
