Zhongwang CAD tutorial to create a command alias

                  Zhongwang CAD 2010 provides an alias for many commands. With aliases, you can reference some common commands by typing one or two letters instead of the entire command. Programs often use aliases to maintain compatibility with other CAD command names. We can customize these aliases and add new ones.
