Editing with grips

To use grips for editing, you select an entity to display the grips, and then click a grip to make it active. The grip you select depends on the type of entity you're modifying and the editing operation you're performing. For example, to move a line entity, drag it by its midpoint grip. To stretch the line, drag one of the endpoint grips. You do not need to enter a command when using grips.
