AUDINDUSTRYMODELREMOVE	Removes Utility Design industry models from a drawing.
AUDLINEEDITOR	Displays the Line Editor palette which provides tabs for Line Sections and Transition Points.
AUDLINEFEATURE	Adds a conductor or segment to the drawing.  The polyline represents the geometry of one or more ducts and conductors within a trench. The command supports a nested syntax which allows you to create a nested collection of ducts and conductors (for example ducts that contain conductors as well as other ducts). If you specify Overhead Run for the ModelName attribute of the segment, pole features are created along with the line as one operation. If you define an underground segment, no poles are inserted. The MaxSpan parameter of AUDLINEFEATURE determines the maximum span between two poles when a new segment is created. If you specify an overhead segment when you draw a new segment, a pole is added at every point you click. If the gap between any new poles exceeds MaxSpan, poles are evenly inserted to divide the span as necessary so MaxSpan is not exceeded. For more information, see About Design Layout.
AUDLINESECTION	Displays the Line Sections tab of the Line Editor palette for editing the 3D geometry of lines. For more information, see To Edit 3D Geometry with the Line Sections Palette.

(The start or end point of one segment must coincide with the start or end point of the other segment.) The segments must be of the same model. All features contained (directly or nested) by the first segment must correspond uniquely (with respect to its model) to a feature contained by the second segment.
AUDMERGETOMODELVALIDATE	Displays the Merge Changes palette to review and merge new, existing, modified, and removed features back into the source. The Merge Changes palette provides information on the features to be merged. You can specify features to merge and features to skip. Features marked with Removal status are deleted from the source when they are merged. For more information, see To Merge and Validate Changes.
AUDNOLOCATIONHIGHLIGHT	Highlights all features that are not associated with any work location. See also: AUDLOCATIONHIGHLIGHT.
'AUDOFFSETPOINT	From within the AUDPOINTFEATURE command, use 'AUDOFFSETPOINT to offset point features (devices and structures) from lines and other points. For more information, see To Create Offset Points. This command uses the alias 'offsetpt.

The command prompts for an option to either purge a single block, or to purge all blocks. If purging of all blocks is indicated, a prompt will be shown to indicate additional options: Purge blocks: Clears all block definitions from the drawing, both 2D and 3D, and redefines the port definitions based on the configured source block drawings. Clear temporary preview files: Clears any cached or stale style preview image files from the local temp. This may highly improve the performance of Style Editor. Re-apply models: Re-assigns models to all current drawing design features to update them with the latest model definitions. Regenerate styles: Forces a recreation of all 2D and 3D objects from their latest styles and style rules. Validate all features: Forces validation of all features. Resolve all features: Performs auto-resolve during the validation process if the validation option is chosen.
