Applying Multifunctional EntityGrips

Some EntityGrips are multifunctional. You can edit specific entities from shortcut menus or by cycling through options.

The following table lists entities that have multifunctional EGrips, where they are located on the entities, additional options available on the shortcut menu, and how the EGrip options modify the entity.

Multifunctional EntityGrips and Editing Results

Entity	EGrip Location	Additional Option	Result
Line	Endpoints	Edit Length	Lengthens the Line. Type the new length or specify a point.
Arc	Center point	Edit Length	Lengthens the Arc. Type the new length or specify a point.
	Circumference midpoint	Radius	Modifies the radius. Type the new radius or specify a through point.
PolyLine	Vertex	Insert Vertex	Inserts a new vertex. Specify the location of the new vertex.
		Delete Vertex	Deletes the highlighted vertex.
	Midpoint between two vertices	Insert Vertex	Inserts a new vertex. Specify the location of the new vertex.
		Convert to Arc / Convert to Line	Changes a linear segment to a curved segment or a curved segment to a linear segment.
Dimension	Endpoints of the dimension line	Continue Dimension	Continues a linear, angular, or ordinate Dimension. Specify subsequent extension line origins. See Creating Continuous Dimensions.
		Baseline Dimension	Creates a series of parallel linear Dimensions that share the same baseline. Specify subsequent extension line origins. See Creating Baseline Dimensions.
		Flip Arrow	Changes the position of the dimension arrow at the dimension line endpoint. See Flipping Dimension Arrows.
	Dimension text insertion point	Move with Dim Line	Moves the dimension text together with the dimension line. Specify the new position of the dimension text and dimension line.
		Move Text Only	Moves the dimension text and leaves the dimension line and extension lines unchanged. Specify the new position of the dimension text.
		Move with Leader	Moves the dimension text and places a leader between dimension line and dimension text. Specify the new position of the dimension text. Applies to linear, angular, and ordinate Dimensions.
		Above Dim Line	Places the dimension text above the dimension line.
		Center Vertically	Centers the dimension text vertically between the extension lines.
		Reset Text Position	Returns the dimension text to its original position.
Hatch	Insertion point	Stretch	Moves the hatch. Specify the new position of the hatch.
		Origin Point	Modifies the hatch start point. Specify the new position of the hatch start point.
		Hatch Angle	Modifies the hatch angle. Type the new angle or specify through point.
		Hatch Scale	Modifies the hatch spacing. Type the new value or specify through point.
	Vertex	Stretch	Moves the vertex. Specify the new position of the vertex.
		Insert Vertex	Inserts a new vertex. Specify the location of the new vertex.
		Delete Vertex	Deletes the highlighted vertex.
	Midpoint between two vertices	Stretch	Moves the vertex together with the segment. Specify the new position of the segment.
		Insert Vertex	Inserts a new vertex. Specify the location of the new vertex.
		Convert to Arc / Convert to Line	Changes a linear segment to a curved segment or a curved segment to a linear segment.
