Use Grips with Underlays
While underlay behavior generally mimics raster image behavior, one exception
is the way that grips work. In this case, the behavior more closely parallels
block behavior. Normally, an underlay displays only a base grip. You can use
a base grip to reposition an underlay in a drawing. If you create a clipping
boundary, additional grips display for each corner of the boundary. See
Clip
Underlays
on page 1903.
The grip for the base point is the lower-left corner of the underlay.
To edit the position, scale, or rotation of an underlay from the Properties
palette
1 In the drawing viewport, double-click the underlay that you want to edit.
2 In the Properties palette, display the Geometry area and do one of the
following:
■ To change the underlay position, change the settings for Position X,
Y, or Z.
■ To change the underlay scale, width, or height, change the settings
for Scale, Width, and Height.
■ To change the underlay rotation, change the setting for Rotation.
To edit the position of an underlay using its base grip
1 Click the frame of an attached underlay.
2 To reposition the underlay, click the base grip.
3 Drag the cursor to the new location and then click again to place the
underlay.
