Drawing remembers it’s original path and saves to it. DS will ignore the drawing path

and save back to the original path.

LN - SetLength command - works on Lines, Arcs, and Circles

Set the length of an existing line or arc and radius of circle

SE (Selection > Action prompt)

Regular SE command but on exit an additional prompt to > Print  Plot  Save  Batch  clipboard: Cut  Copy <  This will allow us to do away with explicit Selection Print/Save/Batch
