To Change the Location of a Freestanding Regular Window

Use this procedure to relocate a freestanding regular window by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The window also has an orientation with respect to the WCS or the current UCS. For example, if the top and bottom of the window are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the regular window by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the window on its plane by changing the rotation angle.

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