Use this procedure to relocate a freestanding opening by changing the coordinate values of its insertion point. The opening 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 opening are parallel to the XY plane, its normal is parallel to the Z axis. You can change the orientation of the opening by aligning its normal with another axis. You can also rotate the opening on its plane by changing the rotation angle.
| If you want to… | Then… |
|---|---|
| relocate the opening | enter new coordinate values under Insertion Point. |
| locate the opening on the XY plane | make the normal of the opening parallel to the Z axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Z, and enter 0 for X and Y. |
| locate the opening on the YZ plane | make the normal of the opening parallel to the X axis: under Normal, enter 1 for X and enter 0 for Y and Z. |
| locate the opening on the XZ plane | make the normal of the opening parallel to the Y axis: under Normal, enter 1 for Y, and enter 0 for X and Z. |
| change the rotation of the opening | enter a new value for Rotation Angle. |
