: dmFix3d

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select an edge, face or 3D solid or [Multiple/BLock]: (Select a solid, or an edge or a face of a solid.)

Press the TAB key to select obscured geometry.

Option	Description
Solid	All faces and edges of the solid are fixed.
Face	The selected face is fixed and cannot be moved or rotated.
Edge	The selected edge is fixed. The adjacent faces can be rotated, but not moved.
Multiple	Allows to select multiple entities or subentities; prompts you: Select edges, faces or 3D entities - (Select a solid, or an edge or a face of a solid) Entities in set: 1 Select edges, faces or 3D entities - (Select more solids, edges or faces of solids or press Enter.)
Block	Allows you to choose as an argument the subentity of the coordinate system of the block; prompts you: Select block reference - (Select a block reference of which the reference coordinate system will be used as an argument.) Select reference coordinate system subentity [Origin/X axis/Y axis/Z axis/XY plane/YZ plane/ZX plane] - (Select a reference coordinate system subentity as an argument.)
