OOPS
Restores erased objects.
PURGE
Removes unused items, such as block definitions and layers, from the drawing.
REDRAW
Refreshes the display in the current viewport.
REDRAWALL
Refreshes the display in all viewports.
REGEN
Regenerates the entire drawing from the current viewport.
UNDO
Reverses the effect of commands.
Cut, Copy, and Paste with the Clipboard
When you want to use objects from a drawing file in another application, you
can cut or copy these objects to the Clipboard and then paste them from the
Clipboard into the other application.
Cut Objects
Cutting deletes selected objects from the drawing and stores them on the
Clipboard. The objects are now available to be pasted into other programs.
Copy Objects
You can use the Clipboard to copy part or all of a drawing into a document
created by another application. The objects are copied in vector format, which
retains the high resolution in other applications. The information stored in
the Clipboard can then be pasted in other programs.
Paste Objects
Applications use different internal formats to store Clipboard information.
When you copy objects to the Clipboard, information is stored in all available
formats. When you paste the Clipboard contents into a drawing, the format
that retains the most information is used.
