Scoot components/wire segments
The Scoot command lets you quickly reposition components and wire
segments. Select directly on a component to slide just that component along
its connected wire(s). Wires remain connected to components and existing
wire numbers re-center. The components movement will be constrained along
the wire segment. To scoot a ladder rung, including all its components and
wire numbers, select directly on any wire segment that makes up the rung.
Scoot works on wire numbers, components, terminals, PLC I\O modules, jogs
in dashed link lines, signal arrows, wires, and wires with wire-crossing loops.
NOTE Components constrained by connected wiring at right angles will not scoot.
Align components/wire numbers
The Align Components command aligns the selected component with a master
component that you select. All connected wires will be adjusted, and wire
numbers re-centered if necessary. You can align vertically or horizontally by
flipping the command with a V or H character and a [space] entered on the
command line.
NOTE The Align Component command can be used on panel layout symbols.
Move components
The Move Component command removes the selected component from its
current location/wire connection and inserts it into a new position. AutoCAD
Electrical uses a rotated version of the symbol, if necessary, as it breaks and
reconnects any underlying wires. AutoCAD Electrical attempts to repair the
broken wires and reconcile multiple wire numbers left over in the component's
vacated position. If you use this command and select on a panel footprint,
AutoCAD Electrical issues the normal AutoCAD Move command.
