Move Objects
You can move objects without changing their orientation or size. By using
coordinates and object snaps, you can move objects with precision. You can
also recalculate objects by changing coordinate values in the Properties
palette.
In this example, you move the block representing a window. After choosing
Move, select the object to be moved (1). Specify the base point for the move
(2) followed by the point of displacement (3). The object is moved from point
2 to point 3.
You can also move an object using a relative distance by entering coordinate
values for the first point and pressing
ENTER for the second point of displace-
ment. This instructs AutoCAD to use the coordinate values as a relative dis-
placement rather than a base point. The objects you selected are moved to a
new location determined by the relative coordinate values you entered. Do
not include an @ as you normally would for relative coordinates, because a
relative coordinate is expected.
