The MOVE command moves objects a specified distance in a specified direction.
In AutoCAD MEP 2024 toolset, when you use MOVE to move a selection set of parts, fittings, and segments (for example, a complete duct branch), the software moves the objects and, if possible, connects a suitable object in the selection set, such as a tee or takeoff, to a segment at the destination. When connecting the moved object to the segment, the software breaks into the segment and then aligns and orients the object (and the selection set). However, the command does not connect or adjust disconnected objects that remain at the original location.
As an alternative to MOVE, use Location grips to move parts, fittings, segments, and schematic symbols. Depending on the editing mode you select, the Location grips move or adjust all affected objects to maintain the connectivity of the run.
To move devices or panels, use Alignment grips. The grips let you accurately align a device or panel perpendicular to an object, such as a wall.
To move schematic lines, use MOVE or enter a new location on the Location tab of the Schematic Line Properties dialog.
