Moving Schematic Lines
You can move a schematic line by
■ Selecting a grip and dragging it to a new location
■ Using the AutoCAD
®
MOVE command
■ Entering new coordinate values for the insertion point of the line using the Properties palette. You can
also use the palette to change the normal or the angle of rotation, as described later in this section.
When you move a schematic line, in-line schematic symbols that are anchored to the line are moved along
the line.
To move a schematic line in orthographic mode using grips
1 Select the line.
2 Click the Location grip .
3 Move the line:
then… If you want to…
drag the line to a new location, and click. use the grip point as the base point for the
move
enter b (base point), specify the base point, and then specify
the second point.
specify a base point, and then specify a
second point
If the schematic line segment is not connected to another object, you can change both its length
and angle using the Start grip or End grip. The Start grip and End grip only appear on the
schematic line in orthographic mode.
The Start and End grips enable you to change the XYZ location of the start point or end point
of the segment. This is useful when you are initially designing runs because you can easily
connect a segment to an existing run.
