It is possible to move a STRA or one of its points by a given amount. For a single point STRA (for example, one with a mid-point) there is no difference between moving the STRA itself or its mid-point, but for a two point STRA moving its ‘from’ or ‘to’ point causes its length and/or its slope to change; the position of the other point remains unchanged.

BY @ |
prompts: or: |
Input two points on a sheet Input two points in the same View |
depending upon whether the STRA is currently positioned on a 2D point or a 3D/p-point.
|
BY X55 Y-678 |
STR As positioned at a 3D point cannot be shifted by an X,Y amount, and vice versa. |
|
|
DRAG BY @ |
Refer to the comments for the BY command |
|
|
FPT BY @ |
prompts: or: |
Input two points on a sheet Input two points in the same View |
depending upon whether the point is currently positioned on a 2D point or 3D/p-point.
|
FPT BY X55 Y-678 |
Points positioned at a 3d point cannot be shifted by an XY amount, and vice versa. |
|
|
FPT DRAG [BY] @ |
These commands change the position of the drafting point FPT DRAG DIMTO @ to which the FPT is attached and hence changes the position of other primitives attached to the same point. |
