Menu : TRANSF

Command: Object:Move

Shortcut : 1

This command moves the 2D or 3D target object. If an element or the root is the target, you are asked if you want to move the projection curves defining the objects as well.

After executing the command, DeskArtes waits for you to click on a mouse button to initiate graphical movement. The effect of each mouse button is discussed below. For optimal speed with 3D transformations, only the object's bounding box is displayed during graphical movements. The transformation amount is displayed in the message lines while the transformation takes place.

The objects fixed point will always be moved along with the object.

2D Graphical Object Transformations

The following rules apply to all 2D objects, as well as to 3D objects when viewed from any axis direction:

3D Graphical Object Transformations

The following rules apply to all transformations with 3D objects in any 3D view (not an axis direction):

Numeric Transformations

A more exact method of movement is available. If you click on any key on the keyboard instead of clicking a mouse button, you will be able to enter the movement values numerically. A dialogue box appears requesting horizontal and vertical movement for 2D objects or x, y and z movements for 3D objects.
