Provides commands and options for relocating any object that supports moving. This command gives functionality for a generic move. You can move more than one object at the same time.

Move From

Identifies the starting point of the move. If you do not define a starting point, the current location of the selected object is assumed to be the starting point.

Move To

Identifies the end point of the move. During the move operation, you can use PinPoint, Point Along, and SmartSketch 3D relationship indicators. The SmartSketch indicators help with moving parallel to other objects or along a major axis to offset from an object. If you do not want the selected objects to move with the pointer during the Move To step, press F10.

Plane

Activates options for selecting a working plane for the move. The icon on the ribbon changes depending on your selection. The default selection is No Plane. The options include:

Plan Plane

Defines the work surface as the XY plane. You can also press CTRL+1 to select this option.

Elevation Plane: East-West (Z Plane: X-Axis)

Defines the work surface as the XZ plane. You can also press CTRL+2 to select this option.

Section Plane: North-South (Z Plane: Y-Axis)

Defines the work surface as the YZ plane. You can also press CTRL+3 to select this option.

No Plane

Clears any work surfaces. The software does not project points that you place to any plane. You can also press CTRL+6 to select this option.

Lock Pinpoint

Locks object coordinates for the Move To point if the PinPoint ribbon bar is active when the Move command is started. If PinPoint is not enabled when the Move command is activated, the Lock PinPoint option is disabled. By default, Lock Pinpoint is not selected.

  • If Rectangular Coordinates is selected on the PinPoint ribbon, the E, N, and El values are locked.

  • If Spherical Coordinates is selected on the PinPoint ribbon, the Distance, Horizontal, and Vertical values are locked.

  • If Cylindrical Coordinates is selected on the PinPoint ribbon, the Radius, Theta, and Z values are locked.

Fast move

Displays a preview of the selected objects in a three-dimensional dark green outline attached to the cursor. This option enhances performance when working with large select sets.

  • Smart 3D generates the move set based on the connections and relationships in the model. The software automatically applies Fast move to a select set that contains:

    • An object that does not support computed previews.

    • More than one thousand objects.

  • The Fast move check box remains clear when the software applies the mode automatically.
