Using EntityGrips

Modifying with EntityGrips (EGrips) is a direct and interactive way to manipulate entities. In the graphics area, you select an entity, select one of its EntityGrip, then modify the entity.

You use EntityGrips to drag defining points of entities to new positions (stretching), or to move, rotate, scale, mirror, or copy entire entities.

With multifunctional EGrips, there are additional options you can use to edit entities.
