Moving Drawing Entities

To move drawing entities, specify the selection set, a starting point and endpoint. These points are called the base point and the new location point, respectively, and can be anywhere within the drawing. The two points define a displacement vector that indicates the distance the selected objects are to be moved and their relative direction.

Schedules can be moved like all other Drawing entities.

To move a selection of drawing entities:

  1. From the Modify menu select Drawing -Move, or from the Drawing/Schedules Toolbar select image\drawing_entity_move_button.jpg.
  2. Select Single, Window or All. Click on the arrow adjacent to the Move button to select Window or All.
  3. Select the entities to be moved.
  4. Select the point to move from (the base point) with the mouse. (If using relative coordinates, skip this step.)
  5. Move the cursor to the new location point.

Note: When doing a relative move in the Z direction, the elevation slice (Z coordinate) does note change, i.e., remains at the current Z coordinate after completing the command.
