Say I have the following simple code:
\coordinate (A) at (0,0); \coordinate (B) at (1,1);
\path[name path=AB] (A) -- (B);
Can I draw this path later on by invoking its path name, AB? Like \draw AB, or something? (Yeah, that doesn't work!) I'm doing some work where I've got a number of paths defined and it would be nice, not necessary, to be able to define them, then draw them later on in the code.
Thanks!

Can I draw a path by its path name?
Okay, I answered my own question:
\path[save path=\AB] (A) -- (B);
\draw[use path=\AB];
Thanks!

\path[save path=\AB] (A) -- (B);
\draw[use path=\AB];
