To Change the Location of Layout Volumes

Use this procedure to change the location of layout volumes. You can relocate a layout volume by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The layout volume 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 layout volume are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the layout volume by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the layout volume on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

1. Double-click the layout volume that you want to change.
2. On the Properties palette, click the Design tab, expand Basic, and expand Location.
3. Select Additional information.
4. Specify the location of the layout volume:

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

5. Click OK.
