Behaviors Panel

The settings on the Behaviors panel of the Preferences dialog define basic editing behaviors of CAD and architectural objects.

Rotate/Resize About defines the point an object or a group of objects rotates or resizes about. See "Rotate/Resize About".

Select Object Center to rotate or resize the selection about its center point. Object Center is the default setting.

Select Current Point to rotate the object about the current CAD point instead.

To resize a CAD object about a current point, select the Resize Edit Type.

This function can also be accessed by clicking the Resize button. See "Edit Behaviors".

Rotate Jump defines the angle an object or group of objects jumps to when it is rotated. It overrides the angle snaps set in Plan Defaults. If you set this to zero, the angle snaps set under Plan Defaults are used.

Select one of the four Edit Type options. For detailed information about the different edit types and how they affect different objects, see "Edit Behaviors".

If Concentric is selected, specify the desired Jump increment.

The Primary Movement Methods control the directions that you can move objects using their edit handles.

Select Orthogonal to move an object perpendicular to any of its edges.

Select Polar to move an object at Allowed Angles.
