LOL, I started my CAD life on VersaCAD as well. We had ONE computer in the drafting classroom back in 1988. Also had a 4 pen plotter that would print 11x17. VersaCAD is still alive, WOW! http://www.versacad.com/

Awesome! That's exactly what I was thinking in my head but didn't know what to call it. It looks like I'll be spending the next 3 months building blocks... Thanks for the quick response

I took a semester of CAD at Palm Beach Jr College in 1982. It was Cadapple on an Apple II with a 12" × 12" digitizer board. This was the manuel: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAD-TUTOR-Teaching-Manual-for-VERSACAD-CADAPPLE-CADventures-1984-Apple-II-/222672849592

@dlanorh beautiful program.

1 You can manually type lisp code on the command line so you can use ssget to make a selection, and then use Copy etc. (ssget '((0 . "Text"))) 2 The Filter command is the same just select text then it detects the selection made. 3 Qselect ? 4 You can make a shorthand using the ssget mentioned aboved so Copy 'ssgt the 'ssgt is a shorthand command that is tranparently called, its a preloaded lisp you could have a few of these for pre defined selections. The use of transparent commands is one of those hidden options in Autocad. Some examples at command line type copy 'ssgt <Enter> pick pick text is copied. Chprop 'ssgt "" la newlayer Note the apostrophe ' before the command this makes it transparent. (defun c:ssgp () (ssget '((0 . "LWPOLYLINE"))) ) (defun c:ssgt () (ssget '((0 . "Text"))) ) (defun c:ssgm() (ssget '((0 . "MText"))) ) (defun c:ssgl () (ssget '((0 . "LINE"))) ) (defun c:ssmt () (ssget '((0 . "*text"))) ) ; (defun c:ssct ( / ss) (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "*Text")))) (command "chprop" ss "" "la" (getstring "new layer") "") )

Copy or move?
