Moving pages

You can treat a page simply as an object in a drawing program, and drag it as you would in such a program. Alternatively, you can drag a page onto another page as you do in a navigation view, to create a new family link in the logical hierarchy.

You can select a number of page objects and drag them all at once. However, a better method for this purpose is to group the pages and then drag the group. For information, see Grouping design items.

To move a page without changing position in the logical hierarchy:

Drag the page to any new location. If you drag a page near another page or partially over it, the other page will also move (to avoid a collision) when the drag is completed.

If you drag a page on top of another page and a line appears to the top, bottom, left, or right of the other page, you have dragged the page too far into the center of the other page. Decrease the overlap until the line disappears.

The link lines connected to the page you drag move with the page. However, descendents of the page do not move with the page as they would if you were moving the page into a new hierarchical position.

To move the copy of a page to a new position:

1 Begin dragging the page.

2 Hold down Control (Windows) or Option (Mac OS). A plus () appears next to the pointer.

3 Continue dragging to the new position. A copy of the page is created at the position. If the original page is annotated or connected to lines, the annotations or lines are not copied.

To move a page into a new position in the logical hierarchy:

1 Drag the page on top of the page you want it linked to. Depending on the position of the page you are dragging, a line appears above or below the target page or to its left or right.

2 Finish the drag above, below, to the left, or to the right, depending on what sort of family relationship you want the two pages to have. For information, see Rearranging the parts of a hierarchy.
