The POWER OF OOPS AutoCAD

[#1]

AutoCAD Features to Improve Efficiency

OOPS (Command)

The OOPS command restores any items that the ERASE command previously deleted. It performs better than CTRL-Z since it reverses the last command to erase without damaging any work that has been done since the erase.

However, this command can only retrieve items that were previously erased.

Command : Oops ↵ Start the command then ENTER.

Additionally, you may use the commands OOPS after BLOCK or WBLOCK to remove the chosen objects after developing a block.

Objects on a layer that have been deleted with the PURGE command cannot be restored using OOPS.

One of my all-time favourite commands @BhaskarMurari Thank you for contributing

@handjonathan 

Could you please tell me in which situations you use that command? I really can't see a situation where oops might suit me better than just ctrl+z, especially since I can't use it multiple times and also not erased object via trim. Maybe I'm overseeing something or we have just really different usecases....

Hi,

he already did. "without damaging any work that has been done since the erase."

Oops restores the last erased objectselection, even if you worked on the file since.

This could be an oversight, but it could also be deliberately exploited.

Oversight:

You created a block and the option 'Objects' Delete was active, instead of convert to block.

Run oops and get the result you wish: Block created, objects converted to an insert.

Exploited:

Think about hundreds object you want to edit multiple times, but some.

Delete these some objects, edit your objects in question, run oups and all is fine.

(In some situations very smart, more smart than trying to use object isolation/uniso or move&remove, or multiple times difficult object selections)
