4 If desired, you can “stamp” additional components into the drawing at the same orientation, or you can
change the orientation for subsequent insertions:
Then… If you want to…
enter b (for Base point), select the new base point, and press ENTER to insert
the component using the new base point. specify a different base point
enter r (for Rotate), and then either enter the number of degrees to rotate
the component in a counterclockwise direction, or manually rotate the
component to the desired angle and click to set the new orientation. Click
again to insert the component at the specified angle. change the default orientation angle of the
component
enter x (for Xflip), and click to insert the component. flip the component along its X axis

Editing Detail Components in a Drawing
Once a detail component has been inserted into a drawing, you can edit the component using the AEC Modify Tools
option on its context menu. (For detailed instructions on using these tools, see “
Detail Drafting Tools ” on page 1525.)
Using these tools on block-based detail components creates unique block definitions for edited inserts, so that the edits
will not affect inserts of the same block in other locations. However, if you use the context menu option Edit Block
in-place to edit a block definition used in multiple locations, you can use the Copy Block Definition and Assign option
(also on the context menu) to create a unique block definition for the block insert you want to edit.
You can view and modify certain properties of a detail component by clicking Properties on its context menu. The
following illustrations show examples of the Design and Extended tabs of the Properties palette for a detail component.
You can modify many of the settings on the Design tab by inserting text or through an associated drop-down list. On
the Extended Data tab, you can specify hyperlinks, insert text notes, or set references using the worksheet icons under
Documentation, but the Component data is read-only, as it displays live data from the detail components database.
NOTE When either the Add Selected or Replace Selected context menu option is selected, the Component data is displayed
on the Design tab of the Properties palette (instead of the Extended Data tab) and is modifiable. For more information on
these two options, see
“ Inserting Detail Components ” on page 1918 .
