BricsCAD commands often provide several options. These options appear in the status bar or command bar and also in a prompt menu, which initially displays at the top right corner of the screen. Choose an option by clicking in the prompt menu. E.g. click Radius in the PLINE prompt menu to define the radius of the current arc segment of a polyline.
