Command entry:Select a linked AutoCAD object. Modify panel Linked Geometry rollout Reset Position

You can move, rotate, or scale linked AutoCAD objects in 3ds Max, and these transformations will remain intact even after the linked AutoCAD drawing has been reloaded. But you can choose to eliminate the transforms on an object-by-object basis using the Reset Position function, available on the Modifier panel.

Every linked AutoCAD object and component has a Reset Position function associated with it. Clicking this button automatically resets all transformations that have been applied to this object or component in 3ds Max, so that the component resumes the location, rotation, and scale it held in the linked AutoCAD drawing when it was last reloaded.

To reset the transforms applied to a linked AutoCAD object:

1. Select a linked object in your scene.
2. On the Command panel, click the Modify tab to display the Modify panel.

   The name of the linked object appears at the top of the Modify panel, and the modifiers that have been added to the object (if any) are shown on the modifier stack.

3. At the bottom of the list of applied modifiers, click either Linked Geometry, VIZBlock, or Block/Style Parent, whichever appears, if it is not already highlighted.

   A Linked Geometry rollout appears at the bottom of the Modify panel.

4. Click the Reset Position button

   The linked object reverts back to its original location, rotation, and scale in the linked AutoCAD drawing.
