Moving objects

You can move objects by dragging, by specifying distance and direction, or by nudging. You can also move an object while you are drawing it.

Super nudging and micro nudging let you move objects into place by increments. By default, you can nudge objects in 0.01-inch increments, but you can change the nudge values to suit your needs.

To move an object

2 .	Click Object Transformations Position.

•

Set distance interactively — click the Set position interactively button , and drag the pointer in the drawing window to specify the distance and angle to move the object

By default, the point of origin (0,0) is at the lower-left corner of the drawing page. When you enable the Relative position check box in the Transformations docker, the position of the center anchor point of the object, and not the point of origin of the drawing page, is identified as 0,0 in the H and V boxes. When you specify a different position in the H and V boxes, the values represent a change from the current position as measured from the center anchor point of the object.

You can also move a selected object by dragging it to another position in the drawing.

You can set a precise location for the object by clicking the Geometric properties button on the property bar and typing values in the Property manager docker.

You can use snapping to move an object with precision. For more information, see Working with precision.
