Editing with Grips
The standard way to select objects in the drawing is to use grips. Grips
are small boxes displayed at various points on a selected object that
you can use as “handles” to edit the object. Each AutoCAD Land
Development Desktop object contains grips that you can use to
stretch, copy, move, rotate, and change the height of an object.
NOTE To make sure that grips are turned on, choose Options from the Tools
menu, and then click the Selection tab. Under Grips, select Enable Grips.
To help you distinguish between dormant and active grips, specify
different colors for Unselected grips and Selected grips.
The following illustration shows the grip points on objects and text.
