  • You can use the ribbon boxes to specify the "to" point. The values are relative distances along the x and y axes. You must click to specify to which quadrant you want to move or copy the selection set.

  • When you move or copy elements, the "to" point becomes the next "from" point.

  • The software maintains relationships within the select set if they are still applicable after you have moved or copied the elements.

  • You can use other view manipulation commands, such as Zoom, Fit, and Pan, while you are using Move.

  • When you finish manipulating the view, the software returns you to Move at the point where you left off.
