To Move, Scale, or Rotate a Surface

Use standard AutoCAD commands to move, scale, and rotate a surface.

  1. At the command line, enter the command, for example Move.
  2. Follow the command-line prompts.
Note: When moving, scaling, or rotating a surface, you should be aware that if you want to affect only the surface and not the data, you should select only the surface. After moving, scaling, or rotating as surface, a ’Transform By’ operation is added to the surface definition and is reapplied during subsequent rebuilding of the surface. If the surface data in the drawing needs to be moved, scaled, or rotated, then the surface should not be selected since the surface is rebuilt according to location of its dependent data.
Note: The AutoCAD Mirror command is not supported on surfaces.
