Moving Elements
  • When an element or group has been selected and the Move tool is clicked, the cursor changes to a "Move" cursor when it is over the selection as shown below.

  • The selected element or group can be moved by holding the left button down and dragging the selection box with the mouse or the arrow keys.

    Releasing the mouse button anchors the selection and causes it to be drawn in its new location.

    Continue dragging and releasing until the selection is where you want it.


    End the move by one of the following:

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


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.

Note: When the left mouse button is not depressed, you can move the cursor freely over the rest of the plan and access the toolbars and menus.
Just go back to the selection to drag it around.

Note: If you prefer the Move routine that was used on previous versions, use the Preferences "Configure" tab and select "Lock Cursor To Selection" in the "Configure Move Routine" section.
