This is the main floating window of Plex.Earth Tools for AutoCAD. In the Plex.Earth Tools 2.0 (Pro and Premium Editions) commands are also accessible from the ribbon bar of AutoCAD.

The Plex.Earth Tools window (Dashboard) is always visible if you choose to start automatically when you run AutoCAD but you can also show it by typing the command PLEXEARTH in the command line.

Use the Dashboard to control the main parameters and execute the commands of Plex.Earth Tools.
