Move Drawing Elements

   Version 4.5.26 introduced changes in moving selected drawing elements.

You can move selected drawing elements to a new location.

A highlighted box is drawn around the selected drawing elements.

When the cursor is placed over the selection box, it changes into the four-headed arrow cursor shown above.

When this cursor is displayed, you can hold the left mouse button down and drag the elements to a new location, using the mouse or the arrow keys.

• The Arrow Keys always move the cursor one pixel at a time. Great for precision, but slow.
• The Number Pad keys move the cursor faster.

Note: You can use the mouse and the keyboard at the same time, but you must hold down the left mouse button even when using the keyboard. The selection will not move unless the left mouse button is depressed.

Release the mouse button to anchor the selection and draw it in the new location.

Repeat until the position is correct. 

To end the moving process Do one of the following:

• Double click on a blank area of the drawing
• Press Escape
• Select another drawing tool.
