To Change the Location of an Entity Reference

Use this procedure to relocate an existing entity reference by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The entity reference also has an orientation with respect to the world coordinate system (WCS) or the current user coordinate system (UCS). For example, if the top and bottom of the reference object are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the entity reference by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the entity reference on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

1. Double-click the entity reference you want to relocate or reorient.
2. On the Properties palette, click the Design tab, expand Basic, and expand Location.
3. Click Additional information.
4. Specify the location of the entity reference:

   If you want to …	Then …
   relocate the entity reference	enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
   locate the entity reference on the XY plane	make the normal of the entity reference parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
   locate the entity reference on the YZ plane	make the normal of the entity reference parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z.
   locate the entity reference on the XZ plane	make the normal of the entity reference parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z.
   change the rotation of the entity reference	enter a new value for Rotation Angle.

5. Click OK.
