Moving Objects
The Move command enables you to reposition an object in the drawing by selecting a base point,
where the object is moving from, followed by a point to define where the object is moving to. You can
select the two points or use the Displacement option of the command. If you use the Displacement
option, the coordinate values you enter specify a relative distance and direction from the basepoint
you selected. Another option is to use grips to reposition an object. You select a grip and then activate
the Move command and select a position to move the selected grip and the object to.
