Move and rotate at the same time

[Anonymous]

hello im using move and rotate command but is there a way for me to rotate while moving ? in other words after i selected the object and clicked the base point i want to rotate in the air is that possible or should i do it in 2 steps?

i tried it but it still takes 2 steps what i want  is like pres and holding the shift and scrolling to rotate while moving or something like that

how about ALIGN command  ?  >> Click <<

[Anonymous]

i cant use align because  i dont know the exact match points before moving the object im just deciding when placing the object.. that adjustment takes my time actually move and rotate move again and rotate again until it fits

>> i dont know the exact match points before moving the object

MOCORO would do what you have asked for and @imadHabash has also suggested the same. But if you want to do it more quick then try using grip edit. Select the grip of the object which would enable stretch, now press spacebar which would cycle through many option like move, rotate, scale mirror and then back to stretch. I use this all the time and I rarely use the commands like MOVE, ROTATE, SCALE and MIRROR 🙂.  I also keep the grips within the blocks enabled by setting "GRIPBLOCK" to "1" which makes it easier to use grip edit.

thank you both, all of these commands are new to me im recently started learning autocad but this options not enough for me on my current project

After you learn all the basics you might find that built-in commands are not so efficient for your specific workflow.

For that case, there are tools in AutoCAD that will allow you to make some customizations... your own commands... Here is a very simple example of using one of those tools - LISP.

See the command HERE while using it.

And here's the code.

(defun c:MoveRotate ( / ss)
  (if (setq ss (ssget "_:L"))
    (progn
      (command-s "_.move" ss "")
      (command-s "_.rotate" ss "" (getvar 'lastpoint))))
  (princ)
  )
