Thanks to Tommy Holden for this tip.
AutoCAD allows you to copy the command line history window to the clipboard by using the COPYHIST command. The command line history is the window just above the command line. This way you can keep track of previous commands already executed in case you want to:
- Repeat what you did
- Not repeat what you did
- Just see what you did
After typing COPYHIST and pressing Enter, simply go to another Windows application and paste in the information.
COPYHIST is also a useful tool for troubleshooting.
Here’s a sample.
Do you use COPYHIST? What do you use it for?

I do use this now……ideal for copying Bounded Volumes from Civil 3D
Thanks Neil,
This is very useful, – thanks for posting it.
I still wish you could double-click or triple click in the text window to highlight portions of the text like any other windows text based software.
I guess I’ll have to put it in the wishlist again sometime.
