Moving, Rotating, & Resizing Entities. Autodesk AUTOSKETCH 8

Moving, Rotating, &

Resizing Entities

Moving, rotating, and resizing are examples of transformations. You can transform an entity by selecting it and clicking a transformation tool, or (in some cases) by dragging the selection handles.

AutoSketch also allows you to select an entity and duplicate it to very exacting specifications. You can create multiple copies of selected entities and arrange them in a specific pattern called an array. An array can contain any number of copies and you can specify the exact size and shape of the resulting array.
