The OOPS command is an often unforgetten command. OOPS allows you to restore the objects that you erased during the most recent use of the ERASE command without undoing all of the most recent commands.

For example, if you erased an object and then added some objects and dimensions you can restore the erased object by using the OOPS command. This keeps the objects and dimensions you added in the drawing.

Change all entities to the Bylayer color

This will convert all colors, even those in blocks, to Bylayer.
