You cannot use AutoCAD commands to edit points, with the exception of MOVE, ROTATE, and ALIGN. These AutoCAD commands only work if you enable their use in the Point Settings dialog box.

In this exercise, you will move an alignment and alignment points using the MOVE command. First enable the use of this command in the Point Settings dialog box.

1. On the View menu, click Named Views to display the View dialog box. Under Name, select 3, click Set Current, and then click OK.

2. On the Points menu, click Point Settings to display Point Settings dialog box.

3. Click the Update tab, and in the AutoCAD MOVE command section, select the Allow Points to be MOVE'd in Drawing and Update Point Database After MOVE Command check boxes, and then click OK.

   Use the following steps to move the alignment and associated points. The other layers in the drawing are locked, making it easy to use a window selection set.

4. On the command line, enter MOVE, use a window selection set to select the rust-colored alignment and alignment points, and then press ENTER.

5. Use a Node Osnap to select point 101 for the Base point, and then use a Node Osnap to select point 102 for the Second point of displacement.

6. As an AutoCAD message dialog box is displayed, click Yes to update the points in the project.

The alignment and points are moved, with the new position of each relocated point updated in the point database.
