For example, Lines have Grips at each endpoint and at the midpoint. Experiment with various objects and see what you can do. The combination of different object types, different object grip points, and the various logical editing tools available for a given point lead to a collection of options that is too large to detail here. If pressing the space bar is not to your liking, then right click on a hot Grip for a shortcut menu.
You are free to manipulate the hot gripped point with any of these edits. Pressing the space bar or enter will start cycling through the other four editing commands (Move, Rotate, Scale, and Mirror). If you look at the command line, you will see ** STRETCH **. When you select an object and make one or more Grips Hot, you are now in edit mode. Hot Grips are ready to be manipulated with the standard Grip editing commands. Hot (selected): If you then pick a cold or warm Grip with the left button, the grip turns red and is now hot.
On certain Grips on certain object types, warm Grips will display a popup menu with available editing commands. Warm (hover): If you move the cursor over a cold Grip, the color changes to a light orange and changed to a warm (or Hover) grip.Cold Grips are also referred to as unselected and highlight the key points on a particular entity. Cold (unselected): When you initially select an object, the blue Grips you see are cold.Now what exactly can you do with Grips? Let’s take a look.īefore we get started, we have to discuss the three stages of Grips. You have done two things with one pick, this is what makes pre-selecting objects so powerful. So think about this for a second you select an object and a key point on that object is already selected. Grips are located at strategic points which also vary depending on the object. Multifunctional grips offer even more editing commands that vary depending on the object type. The most common editing commands are built into grips for all entities, including Stretch, Move, Rotate, Scale, and Mirror. Grips allow you to perform many tasks in fewer steps than you may realize. Do you get annoyed at AutoCAD when those little blue boxes that appear on objects and quickly start mashing the ESC key? Are these blue boxes, better known as Grips, just in your way? Let’s take a look at Grips and how you might use them to your advantage instead of causing you grief.
