Explanation

When a line segment is drawn in Autocad, it has three grip points. These grip points allow the user to manipulate and edit the line segment. The first grip point is located at the starting point of the line, the second grip point is located at the endpoint of the line, and the third grip point is located in the middle of the line segment. These grip points can be used to move, stretch, or rotate the line segment as needed.
