Blue Grips

[spursnutter]

With the good old blue grip boxes, I was wondering if there was a way to move these to any location you want???

While there are many aspects of grips that you can control I believe that moving them to other locations is not one of them. Why do you want to move them and where would you move them to? Could you provide an example?

Basically I have many plates with a hole in the middle and instead of moving via center object snap I could move the blue grip box to the hole and just pick and move in one command.

I thought that circles have grips located at their center point and their quadrants.

Sounds like it's a block. If so, open it in the block editor (BEDIT). If it's a dynamic block, insert a base point parameter at the center of the circle and add it to the selection sets of anything affecting the circle. If it is not dynamic, just select everything and move it all starting with the circle's center as the first point of displacement, and entering 0,0,0 as the second point of displacement.

 

After either method, close the block editor and save changes to all block instances. If the block is/was in a separate file, use the WBLOCK command, with the Block radio button set, to overwrite the original block, or create a revision as required.

 

Hope that helps
