Changing the Location of a Freestanding Curtain Wall Unit
Use this procedure to relocate a freestanding curtain wall unit by changing
the coordinate values of its insertion point. The curtain wall unit also has an
orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the
top and bottom of the curtain wall unit are parallel to the XY plane, its normal
is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the curtain wall
unit by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the curtain
wall unit on its plane by changing the rotation angle.
For information about the world coordinate system (WCS) and the user
coordinate system (UCS), see Use Coordinates and Coordinate Systems in
AutoCAD Help.
