Move Objects command

You can simple drag and drop most objects anywhere on the drawing without executing this Move command. However, the Move command gives you greater flexibility and control over the moves you make.

From the Drawing View choose Edit | Move.
Left click the object(s) to move. You can also select the previous group of objects or window/cross the objects you want.
Right click the mouse or press Enter to tell the program you are finished selecting objects.
- or
Right click an object to move and choose Modify Objects | Move
- then
Specify a base point by left clicking or snapping to an object.
Specify the target point (the base point moves to its position) by left clicking or snapping to an object.

Fine Mode

Hold down the left Shift key while positioning the cursor. TPC reduces the cursor movement by a tenth to give you finer control over the exact position.

Fine mode is a toggle. As long as the Shift key is down, you are in fine mode. Release the Shift key and you are back to normal (coarse) mode.

Ortho Mode

To move the selected objects North-South or East-West hold down the Ctrl key as you position the objects. TPC will choose the ortho direction closest to the cursor position. Be sure to left click and select the target point before releasing the Ctrl key.

Moving an Exact Amount

To move the base point an exact amount, hold down the Shift key and left click. TPC displays the Move dialog and populates it with the current distance and direction of the cursor from the base point.

Enter the distance and direction you would like to move to or the X / Y coordinates you would like to move to.

When you choose OK, TPC positions the objects you are moving as if you had left clicked the exact position you just specified in the dialog.
