Move objects

Home tab > Modify group > Move, MOVE

Move objects from one place to another.

Do the following:

1. Select the object that you want to move. You can select several objects

2. Confirm the selection by pressing Enter.

3. Indicate the base point:

   • If you want to move the object a certain distance from the original place, select any point as the base point.

   • If you want to move a certain point on the object to another point, such as the end of a line to the beginning of another line, select the specific point using object snap.

4. Indicate the displacement:

   • If you want to move the object a certain distance, enter the displacement on the command line in the format @[horizontal displacement],[vertical displacement], such as @500,1000.

   • If you want to move a certain point on the object to another point, select the point to which you want to move the object using object snap.

5. Indicate the scale factor or accept the default factor by pressing Enter.

6. Indicate the angle or accept the default factor by pressing Enter.

The program moves the selected object to the place that you indicated.

If you want to use the MOVE command in a command string where you enter one or more of the command inputs beforehand, use the SELECT comman. However, in this case, you cannot restart the command by pressing Enter. The program has special commands to overcome this limitation, namely the MOVE0 and MOVE110 commands (move in 0 angle and move in 1:1 scale and 0 angle, respectively).
