AutoCAD: Grip Editing Options

AutoCAD offers several useful options when editing via grips to make this a more useful method of editing objects. When you select a grip to edit, you'll notice a few options on the command line:

• Copy: Creates a copy of the object you're grip editing. This can be a useful and quick alternative to the 'OFFSET' command when editing the middle grip of an object.
• Base Point: Allows for the definition of another base point for the grip edit action.

These two options add another level of editing power to an already intuitive method of modifying objects. HINT: Using the copy option when editing a LEADER endpoint is a quick way to create multi-line leaders.
