There is no arrow to go back to a word or phrase you want to delete. Just relocate the "I" bar (shown in gray above) then use the Backspace key to delete what you want.

The scissors would indicate you are using the TRIM command would it not? Look under Tools for EXTRIM.

Something like this change 32 to suit (setq ss (ssget "X" (list (cons 0 "LINE,LWPOLYLINE")(cons 410 "Model")))) (setq x -1) (repeat (sslength ss) (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss (setq x (1+ x))))) (vla-put-color obj 32) )

Speaking as someone who had to learn Civil 3D "on the fly" (boss didn't want to spring for training), it can be done. You won't be laying out bridges and tunnels after one week, but you can pick up the basics on your own. Of course, it helps to know AutoCAD already.

Where I worked we had grad students come in for 3 months to get there work experience quota to come credentialed, they new very basic autocad we had to hold their hand but by the end of the 3 months we were giving them tasks and they were producing good work, obviously the task was appropriate to the skill level but it meant we did not have to do it and another project was completed. Around 50% were asked to stay on with us, the others did comment that they also got jobs as working for us was seen as a high quality employer on their resume. They were like a sponge and just soaked up what they were shown. "people that could learn things super fast." So if it does not work out at the 1st employer just get up and try again.

I learned AutoCAD back when AutoDesk did not offer training and "experts" could be counted on one hand. And yes, dinosaurs could be seen outside the window of my cave at the time.

I beg to differ. I've met quite a few people that learned "on the job".

Honesty is always the best policy. Tell the employer you have limited experience with AutoCAD but that you have confidence you can get up to speed quickly. Ask for an agreed upon trial period in which to prove yourself. You should also emphasis your experience in reading and understanding PFD's and P&ID's. The employer will appreciate your honesty. In the meantime, practice, practice, practice.
