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
