Objects creation and modification	Modifying existing objects
Using Grip modes
Overview     Operations     Commands

Grips are small squares that are displayed at strategic points on objects selected with a pointing device. It is possible to drag these grips to edit objects directly and quickly.

To use grips, select a grip to act as the base point for the editing.

It is possible to use multiple grips as base grips to keep the shape of the object intact between the selected grips. Press and hold SHIFT while selecting the grips.

Stretching with grips

Objects can be stretched by moving selected grips to new locations. Grips on text, block references, midpoints of lines, centers of circles and point objects will instead move the objects rather than stretching them. This is an excellent method for moving block references and adjusting dimensions.
