Lesson: Selecting Objects in the Drawing 163
Removing Selection from Grips
To remove a hot grip, press ESC. Press ESC again to remove selection from all grips in the
current selection set. To remove a single object from a selection set, press SHIFT + click
the object.
Guidelines for Grip Editing
Grips appear on selected objects only when the Command line is blank.
You can select objects first, so that they are highlighted with grips, then you can choose one of the
modify commands for that selection.
When used in conjunction with Dynamic Input, you can use grips to resize geometry by entering
new values for length, angle, radius, and coordinates in the Dynamic Input fields.
You can combine the grip copy option with your grip editing tasks. Right-click anywhere in the
drawing and select Copy. The original object remains unchanged. Multiple copies can be made
using the grip editing command options.
When using the grip copy option, you can make multiple copies at regular intervals based on your
first copy by holding down the shift key when placing your next copy.
You can perform clipboard edit options of the object selected by right-clicking and choosing: Cut,
Copy, Copy with base point or Paste.
You can change the base point of the object being edited with grips. Right-click anywhere in the
drawing and click Base Point to define a new base point for the objects selected.
You can use the Reference option when rotating or scaling objects during a grip edit. Right-click
anywhere in the drawing and click Reference.
