Moving Objects

When objects are moved, the original object definition is accessed and relocated. If any object labels were moved prior to moving the object, they will be reinserted in their original location once the object is moved. To move objects in a job file, select the desired objects, the starting point and destination point. The two points define a displacement vector that indicates the distance the objects will to be moved and their relative direction. You may select objects individually, window around a selection of objects or all objects.

  1. From the Modify menu select Object-Move, or from the Rooms/Objects toolbar select image\objectbtn-move.jpg.
  2. Select Single, Window or All. By default, clicking on the Move Object button invokes the Single selection option (the Single option allows you select multiple objects, one at a time).
  3. Select the objects to be moved.
  4. Select the point to move from by clicking on it with the left mouse button. (If using relative coordinates, skip this step.)
  5. Drag the cursor to the new location point and left click again.

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.
