A Graphical Selection is moved using linear and planar handles on the Locator Handle, or by using the Edit menu. Dragging a linear or planar handle with the mouse pointer moves the current Graphical Selection. The movement is made in steps, the size of which can be controlled by you (the Movement Increment). This allows the Graphical Selection to be positioned accurately in relation to its original position. The Graphical Selection can be moved until it is aligned with another item in the display by using Locator Handles, the Edit menu, or by dragging with Feature Identification mode switched on (see Alignment). |
Clicking and dragging one of the three Linear Movement Handles constrains the movement of the selection to be in the direction of the selected axis.
