Hi,
It would be less confusing to read messages in the command line protocol if it would use the same coordinate separators like the settings below Application Preferences / General / Coordinate Format.
This example shows the "Absolute Cartesian Coordinate" but of course all corresponding format settings should be used within messages.
Absolute Cartesian Coordinate: Setting = semicolon (;) but the message will use division (/).

Additional remark: If I use e.g. a tool like the hatch tool and it finds "Loop not closed at point 123.818/260.631" I can't use this information unedited to find the location. I've to copy and change it to my used coordinate separator settings. In my case from slash to comma what is in my opinion an unnecessary and confusing (and error-prone) extra step.
This wouldn't be necessary if the command line would use the same coordinate separator like my personal settings or if I had the freedom to adjust my personal coordinate separator to the one used in the command line.
