I'm fairly new to Autocad and I have a possibly dumb question:
 
If I select several objects and then change their properties, is there a way to keep them selected for the next command or must I reselect them? 
 
 i.e. I Select 5 text objects, change their style in the properties window and then I want to move them. Is there a way to have the next command operate on the currently selected objects?
 
Hopefully my question makes sense.
I'm using 2009LT
 
Thanks,
Justin

 Yes it is.
 
 When command request selection object :  P
 
 Example :
 
Command: m (enter)MOVESelect objects: p5 found
 

Thanks for your response.
After I select the objects, when I start the new command, the objects become un-selected and when I type P I get:
"No previous selection set"
 
Is there a system variable that needs to be changed?
 
 

Ok, I think I see the problem. When I do a command like edit text, and then do a move, the P command works, but it doesn't work after changing properties.

Hi,
 
The problem is the previous(P) after any command like move or copy etc. selects only those objects that where selected in one instance.
 
The first object selected by picking or the first group of object selected by using cross window are selected using previous.
 
So the procedure you should follow to do what you explained must be:
First select all objects at a time and then unselect them which are not required.
Then the properties and then the next desired command.
Enjoy
