Move

Alias: M

Moves selected objects from one location to another.

---

Description

The Move command relocates selected objects by a specified displacement. Objects can be selected before or after starting the command. The displacement is defined by picking a base point and then a destination point, or by typing a distance.

Workflow

Select-first method (recommended):

1. Select the objects you want to move.

2. Type M and press Space or Enter.

3. Specify base point: Click a reference point on or near the selection.

4. Specify destination point: Click where the base point should move to.

Command-first method:

1. Type M and press Space or Enter.

2. Select objects: Click objects to select them, then press Enter.

3. Specify base point: Click a reference point.

4. Specify destination point: Click the destination.

Tips

• Use object snap to pick base and destination points precisely (e.g. snap to an endpoint, then to another endpoint).

• Type a relative displacement (e.g. @100,0) to move objects an exact distance.

• Use Copy to duplicate objects at a new location instead of moving them.
