Move a Block of Objects

Move a selected block using click and drag, or nudge. Click inside the block and drag it to the required position, or use the arrow keys to nudge it into place. When a block is moved, movement stitches are inserted before and after the block to connect it to the previous and following objects.

If you accidentally move the center of rotation, simply click and drag inside the selection box again.

How To Move a Block of Objects

  1. Click anywhere inside the selection and drag it to the required position. The rectangle around the selection will be dragged with the pointer.

  2. Lift the pen or release the mouse button to drop the selection in place. The selected objects will be redrawn in their new location.

  3. Alternatively, use the arrow keys to nudge the selection into position, then click outside the block to place it.

  4. When you move a selection, you may sometimes move the center of rotation by accident. Simply release the center of rotation, then click and drag the selection as usual. The center of rotation will snap back to the center of the selection when you drop the selection in its new position.
