You can easily create, edit, and reuse commands. The Commands tab of the Customize dialog box allows you to create and modify existing commands that can then be added to a user interface element.
When you change the properties of a command in the Commands list, the properties of the command are changed everywhere the command is referenced. Each property of a command in the Commands list controls which actions are taken when the command is used and how the command looks when added to a user interface element.
The following table shows the properties of the Scale command as they appear in the Properties section.
