From the menu select Position > Equipment Point > Clearance.
In the lower left hand corner a screen prompt appears, asking you to identify a point on YY9001FIRE_PUMP_001.

By depressing the left hand mouse button and hovering the cursor over the equipment the required point can be selected.
Once the point required is selected, the Move form is displayed, this form moves the current element so that its origin or other p-point is a given clearance from another element. The distance is measured in the same direction as the movement direction. In the Clearance field we have added a value of 200. The first drop-down menu is set to show how the distance is related to the point you will specify in the next drop-down menu. In this example we have selected Behind.
Infront / Behind
Can be used for any direction in a plan view. Distance is measured along direction of movement, relative to a specified point.
Onto / Under
Can be used with any direction in an elevation view. Distance is measured along direction of movement, relative to a specified point.
From / To
Can be used for any N, S, E or W view direction. Distance is measured along direction of movement, relative to a specified point.
The second drop-down menu is set to show how you will specify the reference point from which the clearance is measured.

Now in the lower left hand corner a screen prompt appears, asking you to identify a design p-point.
The Equipment element is moved so that its origin or other p-point is a given clearance from another element.
