Moving, Rotating, and Scaling an Object
You can simultaneously move, rotate, and scale a group of objects using the
Transform editing tool.
NOTE This command works on drawing objects only. For information about
editing geospatial feature data, see
Using Feature Editing Commands (page 704)
and
Using AutoCAD Commands on Features (page 713). For information about
AutoCAD commands, see the AutoCAD Help.
Differences From Simple Transformation Settings
The Transform editing tool works very differently from the Simple
Transformation settings
(page 167) in the Drawing Settings dialog box (page
1923). The Simple Transformation settings temporarily adjust the position of
objects as they are retrieved during the query process. AutoCAD Map 3D
reverses these transformations during save back. The Transform editing tool
permanently scales, moves, and rotates objects within the current drawing.

To move, rotate, or scale an object
1 Click Tools tab ➤ Map Edit panel ➤ Transform.
2 At the ADETRANSFORM (Transform command) (page 1649) prompt, specify
whether you want to select objects or use all objects on a specified layer.
3 Select the objects you want to transform, or select a layer.
4 Define the base point.
The rotation and scaling occur around this point.
5 Specify a base rotation and scale, separated by a comma. For a simple
transformation, set the base rotation to 0 and the base scale to 1.
6 Define a new zero point.
