Applying EntityGrip Nodes

EntityGrips (EGrips) are selectable handles displayed as small squares at the end points, centers, vertices, insertion points, and other geometric points of entities.

You can use EntityGrips to stretch, move, and copy drawing entities.

The following table lists entities that have EGrips, where they are located, and how the EGrips modify the entity.
