selecting objects
Hi, is there a way in Bricscad to keep multiple selected objects selected after executing the "Move" command? Alternatively, is there a command that allows you to reselect objects selected in the previous command?

The PREVIOUS option could be what you are looking for. So if you issue the MOVE command again, one of the options on the command line and the prompt dialog box is PREVIOUS.

Great - thank you.
Is it possible to keep selected objects selected after the command is executed (like in Microstation)?1 -
I think if you do a search of the old posts, there is a lisp someone wrote that does this. There isn't a native Bricscad command.

The attached lisp file has a custom version of the Move command. It leaves the selection set still selected after the move. You can do the same customization with any other editing command.
And with lisp you can also make any entity-creation command terminate with the newly-created objects selected. Just get the number of the last-created object, then execute the command, and then select everything that has a higher number than that. I can give you an example of that too if you want.
But if you're going to work that way you'll probably want to turn off PICKADD, to avoid catastrophes.

if you use lisp ssget you can save as many selection sets as you like, there is a way to say give a selection set a name each time you use it say the name becomes SS1, SS2 and so on.
In say move you can use at command line MOVE !ss2 this will use that slection set. NOTE the exclamation mark.
