modify sub commands??

[Anonymous]

I'm currently enrolled in an entry level AutoCAD class, and I'm having a bit of trouble answering a question on an assignment from our teacher; he wants us to define what the "modify sub commands" do, giving us C, W, A, and R.

I have no idea what he's even asking for... the modify commands all have different sub commands associated with them.  I have an expensive textbook that is basically no help; all I can find in it is C & R for Copy and Reference used with the Scale command, and A for Angle used with the Chamfer commands.  Honestly, I don't even think that is what he's looking for.  I thought C and W might have been for Crossing and Window Selection, but again I have no idea.  When he gives the drawing assignments I have no problem creating drawings and even incorporating elements weeks before he goes over them in class like manipulating linetype and lineweight, but the way this written assignment is worded is confusing.

Thanks in advance

Very direct and to the point GrantsPirate.

I guess this will keep getting hits until nthomas0016 accepts something as a solution.

The A and R 'sub-commands' are for add and remove, since the default is for add there is no need to type a, but when you type r and start removing objects from the select set and you want to toggle back to add then you will type a and then be in add to selection set again.  All that has been unnecessary for a long while since we can just hold down the shift key to remove from the selection set, release shift to add again to the selection set.

sorry... i've been pretty absorbed in my work (and other class which is giving me a midterm and a project in the same week)

plus, i'm not really fond of this particular message board layout, i prefer those with proper reply and quote functions...

anyway thank you so much everybody who took time to help me with this, it really means a lot to me
