Move Objects

Concept

Procedure

Quick Reference

To move by stretching

1. Click Modify menu Stretch.
2. Select the object by using crossing selection.

   The crossing selection must include at least one vertex or endpoint. Specify crossing selection by clicking, moving your pointing device from right to left, and clicking again.

3. Do one of the following:
   • Specify the base point for the move, and then specify a second point.
   • Enter the displacement in the form of a Cartesian, polar, cylindrical, or spherical coordinate value. Do not include the @ sign, because a relative coordinate is assumed. At the prompt for the second point of displacement, press ENTER.

   Any objects with at least one vertex or endpoint included within the crossing selection are stretched. Any objects that are completely within the crossing selection are moved without being stretched.
