Specifying the Position of a Group by its Origin
When you are placing, moving, rotating, or pasting groups, the cursor is at the group origin. You can modify
the position of the group origin. Once established, the origin position is used for each instance of the group
that you place.
1 To display the origin, select the group in plan or 3D view. Three drag controls display.
2 Drag the center control to move the origin.
3 Drag the end controls to rotate the origin about the z axis.
Snap points help you place the origin or rotate the end controls.
The following image shows the same group with its origin moved. The origin snaps to the wall.
