Perform Transformation

When using this tool, a various number of activities are available. These activities are invoked from the Transformation toolbar. Furthermore, two kinds of dynamic transformations are supported, namely dynamic move (often referred to as dragging) and dynamic rotate. These are invoked by first toggling the desired dynamic mode via OPTION and then just picking the item. At entrance, the dynamic mode is initiated to move. The system prompt will inform you about the current dynamic mode. Entities containing much graphic information will probably result in bad performance during a dynamic transformation. For this reason, it is possible just to show the envelope of the entity during the dynamic transformation. If a permanent envelope display is desired, this can be set by the ENVELOPE function before invoking the transform function. The transform session is normally terminated by OPERATION COMPLETE meaning "I'm ready, accept the transformation". It can also be interrupted by means of CANCEL or QUIT, requesting the transformation to be cancelled.
