object.Move Point1, Point2

object

Type: All drawing objects, AttributeReference, Dimension

The objects this method applies to.

Point1

Access: Input-only

Type: Variant (three-element array of doubles)

The 3D WCS coordinates specifying the first point of the move vector.

Point2

Access: Input-only

Type: Variant (three-element array of doubles)

The 3D WCS coordinates specifying the second point of the move vector.

Return Value (RetVal)

No return value.

Remarks

The two points you specify define a displacement vector indicating how far the given object is to be moved and in what direction.

Given object with two points indicated

Moved object

Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_Move()
    ' This example creates a circle and then performs
    ' a move on that circle.
    
    ' Create the circle
    Dim circleObj As AcadCircle
    Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim radius As Double
    center(0) = 2#: center(1) = 2#: center(2) = 0#
    radius = 0.5
    Set circleObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddCircle(center, radius)
    ZoomAll
    
    ' Define the points that make up the move vector
    Dim point1(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim point2(0 To 2) As Double
    point1(0) = 0: point1(1) = 0: point1(2) = 0
    point2(0) = 2: point2(1) = 0: point2(2) = 0
        
    MsgBox "Move the circle 2 units in the X direction.", , "Move Example"
    
    ' Move the circle
    circleObj.Move point1, point2
    
    ZoomAll
    MsgBox "Move completed.", , "Move Example"
    
End Sub
