An entity or a set of entities can be moved quite simply using the pop-up menu that appears when you click the right button of your mouse.
The procedure is very similar to the procedure for the Move operation called from menu and done with a previously made selection of entities. The only difference is the way the Move function is called.
Make the selection of entities you want to be moved or adopt the existing selection made for other purposes.
Click the right mouse button.
A pop-up menu appears on the screen.
Select the Move function.
Define the first reference point. (The vector along which the selected entities move is defined by two reference points. The first reference point is the Start point and defines the origin of the move vector. The second reference point is called the End point and defines the end point of the move vector. Please note that the first reference point does not have to be located on the entity being moved, it can be defined anywhere within the modelling space.)
Define the second reference point.
The move operation has been completed and the selection remains unchanged.
If only a single entity should be moved, the procedure may be even simpler and shorter. During this approach, no selection is necessary to be made and, therefore, no selection remains active after the operation.
Place the mouse cursor on the midline of the entity you want to move.
Click the right mouse button.
A pop-up menu appears on the screen.
Select the Move function.
Define the first reference point. (The vector along which the selected entities move is defined by two reference points. The first reference point is the Start point and defines the origin of the move vector. The second reference point is called the End point and defines the end point of the move vector. Please note that the first reference point does not have to be located on the entity being moved, it can be defined anywhere within the modelling space.)
Define the second reference point.
The move operation has been completed.
