Slide a Primitive to a New Position

To modify the position of a primitive without changing its dimensions, use the slide facility.

1. Make sure that the CE is the primitive that to be moved.

2. Select Modify > Slide > option, where option gives the user the following choices:

   • To P-Point - Moves the primitive in the direction of a selected p-point on the primitive to align with a target p-point on another design element which the user will pick using the cursor.

     

   • To Pline - Moves the primitive in the direction of a selected p-point on the primitive to align with a target p-line on another design element which the user will pick using the cursor.

3. When prompted, use the cursor to pick the p-point on the current primitive which is used to define its direction of movement and its new position.

4. Pick the corresponding target p-point to be used to define the new position of the primitive’s p-point.

   Note: The axes through the two p-points need not be collinear. If not, the primitive will move until the two p-points are aligned, thus:
