Overview of Modifying Objects
With AutoCAD, you can easily modify the size, shape, and location of
objects. You can either enter a command first and then select the objects to
modify, or you can select the objects first and then enter a command to
modify them. Double-clicking an object displays the Properties palette or, in
some cases, a dialog box that is specific to that type of object.

Remove Objects
You can remove objects from your drawing using several methods, including
■ Erasing them with ERASE
■ Cutting them to the Clipboard
■ Pressing DELETE
ERASE
works with all the available object selection methods.
You can restore accidentally erased objects using
UNDO. The OOPS command
restores all objects deleted by the most recent use of
ERASE, BLOCK, or
WBLOCK.
■ To remove the plus-shaped markers called blips, refresh the screen with
REDRAW.
■ To remove unused named objects, including block definitions, dimension
styles, layers, linetypes, and text styles, use
PURGE.
