This command prompts you to pick an entity and then starts the appropriate draw command to begin creating another one of the selected type of entity. The properties such as layer and color of the original entity are used for creating the new one. For example, if you pick a polyline, this command will start the Pline command. Likewise if you pick text, this command will begin the Text command using the layer and style of the selected text.
