Ribbon = Home tab / Modify Panel / orKeyboard = Ml <enter> Image

      2. The following will appear on the command line:

      Command: _mirror

      Select objects: select the objects to be mirrored

      Select objects: stop selecting objects by selecting <enter>

      Specify first point of mirror line: select the 1st end of the mirror line

      Specify second point of mirror line: select the 2nd end of the mirror line

      Erase source objects? [Yes/No] <N>: select Y or N

       Note:

      The placement of the “Mirror Line” is important. You may make a mirrored copy horizontally, vertically or on an angle. See examples below and on the previous page.

      The MOVE command is used to move object(s) from their current location (base point) to a new location (second displacement point).

      1. Select the Move command using one of the following:

Ribbon = Home tab / Modify Panel / orKeyboard = M <enter> Image

      2. The following will appear on the command line:

      Command: _move

      Select objects: select the object(s) you want to move (P1).

      Select objects: select more objects or stop selecting object(s) by selecting <enter>

      Specify base point or displacement: select a location (P2) (usually on the object).

      Specify second point of displacement or <use first point as displacement>: move the

       object to its new location (P3) and press the left mouse button.

       Warning: If you press <enter> instead of actually picking a new location (P3) with the mouse, AutoCAD will send it into Outer Space. If this happens just select the undo tool and try again.
