Procedure

Grips are small squares that are displayed at strategic points on objects that you have selected with a pointing device. You can drag these grips to edit objects directly and quickly.

Use Grip Modes
You can drag grips to perform any stretch, move, rotate, scale, or mirror operations. The editing operation you choose to perform is called a grip mode.
Make Multiple Copies with Grips
You can create multiple copies of objects as you modify them with any of the grip modes.
Control Grips in Blocks
You can specify whether a block displays a single grip or multiple grips.
