Move or Copy by CoordsMove/Copy by Co-ordinates

Availability: Computations module.
Menu Selection: From the Computations task, select the Edit / Move/Copy / Co-ordinates command.
Functionality: Moves or copies, objects by nominating new co-ordinates for a reference point.
Controls:
Actions:
  • The Move Button will move, or copy the selected point range by the difference in co-ordinates between the reference point and the new X, new Y and new elevation values.
  • In single object mode, the point(s) shown in the point range field will be moved. If the point range field is empty, the reference point will be moved.
  • In block mode, only the points shown in the point range field and also defined by the block will be moved. If the point range field is empty, then all points defined by the block will be moved.
Notes:
  • The three adjacent East, North and Elevation controls constitute a co-ordinate group.
  • Note that any line objects, polygons, alignments and section markers that are associated with the selected point(s) will be automatically amended to reflect the movement of those points.
  • If the Block is on when this command is used any text objects contained within the Block will also be moved.
  • If the points defined to be moved are part of a spiral, arc or circle object, the object will be re created if the geometry of the points that defined the object is still valid, otherwise the object will be destroyed. For example, you cannot move an arc end point and keep the arc, unless the move maintains the radius.
