DRAG                                                               Menu: PLACE
==============================================================================
Places objects in the model by dragging.

Description
This command places the current default library object into the model.
The object is previously set as the default by selecting it from the
pull-down graphic library or using the \setob command specifying it by
library name.

The following prompts appear on the screen:

         1.* (POINT) place (Alt+1-sym, 2-orig, 3-ang, 4-ang=0, 5-big,
                                                         6-small, <Ent>-set)
      if <ENTER> is pressed:
         2.  (Y/N) y-size factor, n-angle factor, <ENTER>-new direction ?
      if reply is `y' in prompt 2:
         3.  (NUM) NEW size factor (current: curr. factor)
      if reply is `n' in prompt 2:
         3.  (NUM) NEW angle increment (current: curr. angle)
      if <ENTER> is pressed in prompt 2:
         3.  (POINT) first direction point
         4.  (POINT) second direction point

Before you position the object, you have a series of manipulation options:

Alt + 1
Change the symmetry of the object about the cursor (toggle).

Alt + 2
Change the position of the origin.
There are six possibilities  the original "origin," each of the four corners
of the enclosing rectangle and the center of the enclosing rectangle.
Each time you press Alt+2, the entity is moved such that the cursor is
located at one of the possible origin options.

Alt + 3
Change the angle of the object. Each subsequent time you press Alt+3
the object will rotate a further angle increment about the current origin
(cursor) position (the angle increment can be set by pressing <ENTER>).

Alt + 4
Change the angle of the object back to the orientation in the original file.

Alt + 5
Increase the size of the object by a factor. Each subsequent time you press
Alt+5 the object will increase in size by the size factor  (the factor can
be set by pressing <ENTER>).

NOTE: To restore the original size, press F7.

Alt + 6
Decrease the size of the object by a factor. Each subsequent time you press
Alt+6 the object will decrease in size by the size factor (the factor can
be set by pressing <ENTER>).

NOTE: To restore the original size, press F7.

To change the size factor, angle factor, or to specify a direction
other than the direction of the object in its original file, press
<ENTER>.

If you enter `y', enter a new size factor.
If you enter `n', enter a new angle factor.

If you press <ENTER> to change the direction of the object,
enter two points. The X-axis of the original object is oriented along
the line connecting these two points.

Ensure that the object is at the desired position and press B1 to place it.

See the \olib command for how to create and edit object libraries.
