By using the mouse or another pointing device, you can move a drawing to view the drawing object from different angles. When you activate 3D navigation  you can PAN and ZOOM at the same time. During a 3D navigation operation, it is not allowed to... Read More

The same LINETYPE can be changed to different scales by changing the linetype scale factor globally or individually for each object. By default, global scale factor and current object scales are set to 1.0. You will see the Global Scale Factor and... Read More

Objects can be moved to a different location or rotated to a new orientation. Move Objects To move objects at a specified distance or direction from the originals, you can use coordinates, grid snap, object snaps and other tools. Specify Distance... Read More

An object's LINETYPE can be changed in three different ways: If an object's linetype is set to BYLAYER, move it to another layer with a different linetype, the object will acquire the linetype of new layer. Choose another linetype for... Read More
