Topic: Difference between Typing Commands and Interface Buttons

[MSTG007]

I am just trying to get a better understanding how / why certain commands to what they do.

For instance, When I setup a new Viewport, I usually do the (ZOOM / SCALE / 1/20XP) for a 20' scale drawing, and then have to do a regenall (REA). But when I do the same setup. I select the button on the lower right of the screen (CANNOSCALE) and change that to a (1" = 20') it does the zoom and then also regens for me.

Another one I have noticed, is when I do (DRAW ORDER) Send to back. With typing I have to manually add the (REA) after the command, but if I use the Button or Right Click on the Mouse it does the command with the regen automatically.

Just curious why it might do that.

I would suspect that the command version (button, or Right click operation) is 'chained' to perform a REGENALL to reset thee drawing index after the command completes.

Looks like right-click uses AI_DRAWORDER command.
