Changing the Location of a 2D or 3D Elevation
You can relocate an elevation by changing the coordinate values of its insertion
point. The elevation also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the
current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the elevation are parallel
to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the
orientation of the elevation by aligning its normal with another axis. You can
also rotate the elevation on its plane by changing the rotation angle.
For information about the world coordinate system (WCS) and the user
coordinate system (UCS), see “Use World and User Coordinate Systems in 3D”
in AutoCAD Help.
1 Double-click the elevation you want to move.
2 On the Properties palette, expand Basic, and expand Location.
3 Click Additional Information.
4 Specify a new location or rotation:
Then…If you want to…
enter new coordinate values under
Insertion Point.
relocate the elevation
make the normal of the elevation
parallel to the Z axis: under Normal,
locate the elevation on the XY plane
enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X
and Y.
make the normal of the elevation
parallel to the X axis: under Normal,
locate the elevation on the YZ plane
enter 1 for X, and enter 0 for Y
and Z.
make the normal of the elevation
parallel to the Y axis: under Normal,
locate the elevation on the XZ plane
enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X
and Z.
enter a new value for Rotation
Angle.
change the rotation of the elevation
5 Click OK.
