You can use grips to move orthographic and isometric schematic symbols along schematic lines and drawings. You can also use the AutoCAD® MOVE command for moving symbols not anchored to schematic lines.
To move a schematic symbol in orthographic mode
- Select the symbol.
- Click the Location grip
.
- Move the symbol:

To move a schematic symbol in isometric mode
- Select the symbol.
- Click the Move Isoplane grip
.
- Move the line:
If you want to… then… use the grip point as the base point for the move drag the line to a new location, and click. specify a base point, and then specify a second point enter b (base point), specify the base point, and then specify the second point. - Press Esc.
In isometric mode, the Move Isoplane grip will move the schematic symbol in the direction which is perpendicular to the plane in which the schematic symbol lies.
Note: You can also move end-of-line symbols by specifying a new insertion point on the Location worksheet. To access the worksheet, select the symbol, and click
