To Reposition From a Reference Point

Use this procedure to reposition architectural objects, linework, or blocks from a specific reference point in your drawing. For example, if you have a kitchen island that you want repositioned 6'-0” from existing cabinetry, you can place the island using the interior edge of the cabinet as a reference point. You can also use this procedure with hatches, lines, polylines, arcs, circles, AEC polygons, mass element extrusions, spaces, or any block-based content (including detail components and DesignCenter content) made up of these types of linework or objects.

1. Select the linework, object, or block to reposition.
2. Click Home tabModify panelAlign drop-downReposition From.
3. Select an existing edge from which to reposition the object, or specify two points to define a reference edge.
4. Select the object to be repositioned, and enter a value for the distance between it and the reference edge.
5. Press Enter.
