Location Box Editing In AutoCad Electrical 1

[Anonymous]

After I insert Location Box on a drawing its often happens that I need to edit it's shape while proceeding doing the drawing. For example sometimes I need to move one side 5-10mm in the right or left. But I have no opportunity to do this. It is inserted like a block and no editing tools are available. Or maybe I just haven't found them? Please Help!

There is a command for this in ACADE. It's called 'Stretch PLC' but it works on any block. Just be cautious what you select when using this command. The image shows its location.

Hope this helps,

Location box is not a block, it's a group of a polyline and text (use GROUP command to create and manipulate ACAD groups).

You can stretch polyline, use grips to change its shape or even use PEDIT to add vertex...

Text is not centred to new shape until something is changed on the location box using Edit Location Box command.

Sometimes polyline and text get ungrouped (e.g. when you copy location box to another drawing).

In this case text is not centred to new shape, so you have to use GROUP command to regroup them.

It used to be that you could just click on a side of the location box, grab a grip and adjust.

However that has changed.

I've noticed recently that I have to CTRL-Click on a side to get the grips to adjust the box.

On the command line type "pickstyle" and set it to 0.

This was by far the easiest solution...it's really sad that this isn't something obvious.  Thank you Brad!
