REGENAUTO COMMAND

[prieto_moas]

Hi, I have a problem with the REGENAUTO command. In the old versions of Autocad, Autodesk explains that when this tool is off and you perform an action that requires regeneration, and the action is irrevocable (like layer reuse), the program says: "Regeneration is on hold". Well, I don't understand why layer reuse is an irrevocable action.... Here is autodesk's explanation : " Controls the automatic regeneration of a drawing. Obsolete The REGENAUTO command has been removed from the product. The following prompts are displayed. Enabled Regenerates the drawing immediately if there is any queued regeneration and continues to regenerate automatically whenever an action requiring regeneration is executed. Disabled Inhibits the regeneration of a drawing until the REGEN or REGENT commands are used, or REGENAUTO is activated. If you perform an action that requires regeneration and it is an irrevocable action (e.g. layer reuse), the following message appears: Regeneration is waiting. If you perform an action that requires regeneration and that action is revocable, the following message appears: Regeneration required -- continue? If you click OK, the drawing will be regenerated. If you click Cancel, the last action will be cancelled and the drawing will not be regenerated." I would also like to know what is an example of a revocable action? I understand by revocable that it can be cancelled, so I associate it with the undo command. Starting from this premise, the undo command works for any action, that's why I don't understand when you say that layer reuse is an irrevocable action. For me all the actions in AutoCAD are revocable..... I would be very grateful if someone could solve this doubt about why the reuse of layers in AutoCAD is an irrevocable action, and an example of revocable action? Thank you very much

Maybe it's a translation issue, but I don't even understand what "layer reuse" could be.  I went into Help to try to find the same description in original English, but it's not in Help for either REGENAUTO or REGENMODE.  They're both obsolete anyway, so can you describe why it matters?

Ok, it matters to me because I am trying to understand when I have to Regenerate my draw. I am watching Tutorial Autocad videos, and sometimes, people regenerate their drawings, but in my case I think my program does it itself. I am seeing a video in which A person copies a draw in the paper space and when he paste it, there is needed to execute the regenall command to see the draw with its updated properties. But in my case I do when I copy and I paste the draw I directly can see the draw with its updated properties without executing the regenall command. That is why I am questioning about when I have to regenrate my draw and when not.
I suppose you understand my issue, if you not please aske me.

Can you help me with this trouble?

Thank you so much

REGENAUTO is an obsolete command, dead, useless, does nothing https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/AutoC...

Unless you are on some very old version then your issue may be Win10 compliance or updates, hard to tell from your longwinded post.
