Point Move
- If vertices are selected, right-click and choose Move.
There are multiple ways to move vertices in the user interface using the Point Move command. Any lines that are connected to the point will remain connected to the point at the new location. (Construction lines can be stretched with the Point Move command, but other construction objects are not affected.)
- With nothing selected: This method can be used for moving a single vertex to a new position. The vertex will be selected after the command is executed.
- Select the Point Move command.
- Click the vertex that you want to move. The padlock icon will appear on the mouse when you are over a vertex.
- Specify where you want to move the node. You can either enter the coordinate of the new location or activate the Use Relative check box and specify how far you want to move the point in each direction; then press <Enter> to perform the move. Or use the mouse to indicate where to move the vertex to.
- Another vertex can be selected and move, and so on, without closing the Point Move dialog.
- Click the Close button after moving all of the desired points.
- With vertices selected: This method can be used for moving a single or multiple vertices. This method works on the currently selected vertices.
- Select the vertices that you want to move.
