Is there a way around objects being de-selected after preforming a command?

[i_hart6Q2LP]

I'm getting really tired of having to group non-block objects to preform a command on as a way to avoid having to Undo then re-select all the objects/lines and try the command again If I've made some user error.

Like if i moved selected objects too short of their mark, normally I'd have to re-select all of objects and try again. re-selecting objects isn't part of undo steps and objects staying selected after a command was preformed on isn't a thing...

Is there a way to set CAD to keep the objects I just previously preformed a command on selected?

Plus,
is there a way to turn on object selection to be part of the undo steps?
Undo Steps include where I zoom but not even what I have previously selected...

P for previous

R for remove

A for add

It is if the operation is by grip-editing, rather than by entering a command name.  You can Move/Rotate/Scale/Mirror/Stretch things that way, and they remain selected to do whatever else you want with them.  EDIT:  If under any of those modes you select the Copy option, what remains selected is the original(s), not the copy.

And to clarify @Patchy's message:  At the "Select objects:" prompt in any editing command, though it doesn't display options for you in the prompt, you can type in P [in the English version] to get the Previous selection, etc.  You can find all the selection options in Help for the SELECT command.

Undo is for commands, pre-selection (no command running) isn't a command..

-

Object selection method P as already said above - start your next command an input P for object selection,

or setup your own button macros to use the previous selected objects.

I don't seem to have those commands under that Alias. Defaults to Pan, Rotate, Arc.
Nor does Previous or Remove show up as commands in Aliasedit

I know pressing space will start the last command

They are not commands, but selection options.  You must be in an editing command, at the Select objects: prompt, for those to do what's wanted.
