GGU-CAD: Moving objects
If your active drawing does not yet contain any objects draw a number of lines, for example using the "Draw/Polygon" menu item and enter some text in your drawing using the "Draw/Text" menu item. Now go to the menu item "Window/Move". If the defined window is not the correct size adapt it using the "Window/Window size" menu item.
Position the window area over the objects to be moved and then click the left mouse button. All objects in the window are displayed in a different colour. An incorrect click that includes the wrong objects can be undone by clicking with the right mouse button. Now move the objects by moving the mouse to their new position and clicking the left mouse button again. The objects appear at their new position.
If you also hold down the shift key in conjunction with the last click, the selected objects are copied. If you change the active drawing layer after copying objects (function key [F11] or [F12]), the objects are moved or copied to the new drawing layer. If all line objects, for example, are to be excluded when moving objects, deactivate the "Lines" check box in the above dialog box of the "Window/Preferences" menu item.
If you only need to move a single object, this can be done more simply using the "Draw/Move object" menu item ([F5] function key).
