<title>Moving The Selection</title>

|
<p>
|
|
The whole selection can be moved in "Move" mode. If some elements are already selected, choose "Move" mode and select
|
|
a reference point by left-clicking at the position. The reference point will be used as the "dragging handle" - each
|
|
element is moved relative to this position. In no elements are selected when entering move mode,
|
|
simply click at the element to move and place it somewhere else with a left mouse click.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
While moving, the whole selection can be rotated by 90 degree counterclockwise with a right mouse
|
|
button click.
|
|
The ESC key will cancel the operation.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For movements, the movement direction constraint apply.
|
|
See <link href="/manual/editor_options.xml"/> for details about the modes
|
|
available. For example, in manhattan mode, only horizontal and vertical movements are allowed.
|
|
The global movement constraint can be overridden by pressing Shift (orthogonal), Ctrl (diagonal) or
|
|
both Shift and Ctrl (any angle) while moving the mouse.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If a move distance and direction is known numerically, "Move By" from the "Edit/Selection" menu can be used.
|
|
A dialog will open that allows specification of the horizontal and vertical move distance in micrometers.
|
|
Positive values move to the top or right and negative ones to the bottom or left.
|
|
This dialog also applies to partial mode, so that edges or parts of a layout can be
|
|
moved precisely by a certain distance in a certain direction.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In the same way, "Move To" allows to reposition the selection to a certain point. The point which
|
|
is positioned can be chosen relative to the bounding box of the selection. If first example,
|
|
the lower-left corner of the selection is picked as the reference point and a certain position
|
|
is given in the dialog, the selection is moved such that the lower left position of it's
|
|
bounding box will match the given coordinate.
