selected object.
Access Methods
Button
Toolbar: Draw
Shortcut menu: Select a single object, right-click, and click Add Selected.
Summary
Differs from COPY by duplicating only the general properties on page 1017 of
an object. For example, creating an object based on a selected circle adopts
the general properties of the circle, such as its color and layer, but prompts
you for the new circle’s center point and radius.
With the ADDSELECTED command, you can create a new object with the
same object type as a selected object. Certain objects have special properties
that are supported in addition to its general properties, as shown in the

Adjusts the fade, contrast and monochrome settings of the selected underlay
(DWF, DWFx, PDF, or DGN), or image.
20 | Chapter 2 A Commands
Access Methods
Button
Ribbon: Insert tab ➤ Reference panel ➤ Adjust
Summary
With the ADJUST command, you can control several display settings for
selected images and underlays (DWF, DWFx, PDF, and DGN underlays). To
confirm the settings, use the Properties palette.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
The list of prompts depends on whether you select one or more images, or
one or more underlays.
Images
Fade Controls the fade effect in the image. Values range from 0 through 100.
The greater the value, the lighter that the image appears. This setting works
indirectly with the contrast effect; a higher contrast value blends the image
into the background when fade is set to a higher value.
Contrast Controls the contrast, and indirectly the fading effect in the image.
Values range from 0 through 100. The greater the value, the stronger the
contrast.
Brightness Controls the brightness, and indirectly, the contrast in the image.
Values range from 0 through 100. The greater the value, the brighter the image
and the more pixels that become white when you increase contrast.
Underlays
Fade Controls the fade effect in the underlay. Values range from 0 through
100. The greater the value, the lighter that the linework in the underlay
appears. This setting works indirectly with the contrast effect; a higher contrast
value blends the underlay into the background when fade is set to a higher
value.
Contrast Controls the contrast, and indirectly the fading effect in the underlay.
Values range from 0 through 100. The greater the value, the stronger the
contrast.
ADJUST | 21
Monochrome Controls the color saturation of all areas while maintaining
the luminance. When turned on, the underlay appears in shades of gray
starting at black if the background color luminance is 50 percent or more. If
the background color luminance is less than 50 percent, then the colors are
inverted, with the darkest areas displaying as white, and the lightest areas
displaying as black.
ALIGN

Align Objects
Aligns objects with other objects in 2D and 3D.
Summary
Either one, two, or three pairs of source points and definition points can be
specified to move, rotate, or tilt the selected objects, aligning them with points
on another object.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Select objects: Select the objects to align and press Enter
ALIGN Using One Pair of Points When you select only one source point and
destination point pair, the selected objects move in 2D or 3D from the source
point (1) to the destination point (2).
22 | Chapter 2 A Commands
ALIGN Using Two Pairs of Points When you select two point pairs, you can
move, rotate, and scale the selected objects in 2D or 3D to align with other
objects.
The first set of source and destination points defines the base point for the
alignment (1, 2). The second set of points defines the angle of rotation (3, 4).
After you enter the second set of points, you are prompted to scale the object.
The distance between the first and second destination points (2, 4) is used as
the reference length to which the object is scaled. Scaling is available only
when you are aligning objects using two point pairs.
NOTE If you use two source and destination points to perform a 3D alignment
on nonperpendicular working planes, you get unpredictable results.
ALIGN Using Three Pairs of Points When you select three point pairs, you
can move and rotate the selected objects in 3D to align with other objects.
The selected objects move from the source point (1) to the destination point
(2).
The selected object is rotated (1 and 3) so that it aligns with the destination
object (2 and 4).
ALIGN | 23
The selected object is then rotated again (3 and 5) so that it aligns with the
destination object (4 and 6).

Work with Annotative Styles
Updates existing annotative objects to match the current properties of their
styles.
Summary
When a non-annotative text object is updated to an annotative text style, the
object becomes annotative and supports the current annotation scale. If the
text style has a fixed Paper Height, the object is set to that height. If the text
style’s Paper Height is set to 0, the size of the text does not change. The Paper
Height value is inferred by dividing the model height by the current annotation
scale.
If an annotative object is updated to a non-annotative style, the object becomes
non-annotative and any alternate scale representations are removed.
