Specifying the Position of a Group by its Origin

When you are placing, moving, rotating, or pasting groups, the cursor is at the group origin. You can modify
the position of the group origin. Once established, the origin position is used for each instance of the group
that you place.
1 To display the origin, select the group in plan or 3D view. Three drag controls display.
2 Drag the center control to move the origin.
3 Drag the end controls to rotate the origin about the z axis.
The following image shows the same group with its origin moved. The origin snaps to the wall.

Modifying Groups

After you create or load a group, you can modify it. You can modify a group within a project (or family)
using the group editor, or you can edit the group externally.
The group editor allows you to add elements from the project view, place additional elements in the view
which are then automatically added to the group, remove elements, create attached detail groups (for model
groups), and view group properties. When you edit a group using the group editor, the background color of
the drawing area is pale yellow, and the group editor toolbar initially displays in the upper left corner. The
pale yellow background color is ignored when you print from the group editor.
and click OK.
NOTE You do not have to select the detail group that was created when you created the model
group.
Snap points help you place the origin or rotate the end controls.
