Aliases
Rhinoceros > Settings > 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.
