From the drop-down menu select Position > Equipment Point > Towards.
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 a given distance in a direction specified in terms of another element. The Distance field sets the distance the current element is to be moved and the Towards drop-down menu gives the options for defining the point to move towards (the reference point).
In this example we have selected Towards ID P-Point and a Distance of 200.
