To Change the Location of an AEC Polygon

You can also move an AEC polygon by cutting and pasting it.

AEC polygons are oriented with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of an AEC polygon are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Zaxis. You can change the orientation of the AEC polygon by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the AEC polygon on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

  1. Double-click the AEC polygon you want to move.
  2. On the Properties palette, Design tab, expand Basic Location.
  3. Click Additional information.
  4. In the Location dialog box, specify the location of the AEC polygon, and then click OK.
    If you want to… Then…
    relocate the AEC polygon enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point.
    locate the AEC polygon on the XY plane make the normal of the AEC polygon parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y.
    locate the AEC polygon on the YZ plane make the normal of the AEC polygon parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z.
    locate the AEC polygon on the XZ plane make the normal of the AEC polygon parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y and enter 0 for X and Z.
    change the rotation of the AEC polygon enter a new value in the Angle box, under Rotation.
