Mini-CAD: Displacing with the mouse

You can displace a single object by means of the right mouse button. A prerequisite for this is that the icon for the appropriate object type is clicked and the object is located on the selection layer. Position the mouse over the object and move it to the desired position with the right mouse button pressed. This action can be undone by pressing the [Back] key or by clicking the "Undo" icon .

Direct displacement with the right mouse button is not possible for polygons, Bezier splines, tables and diagrams.

Alternatively, objects can also be moved by marking ("Mark objects" icon is activated) and subsequently moving them using the left mouse button. Several objects can be marked using the [Shift] key and the left mouse button or open a window on the required objects by holding the left mouse button. All drawn objects are selected regardless of type by clicking the "Mark all" icon . If objects of a certain type need to be marked, press the "Select" button in the "Layers" icon dialog box (also see Section “Editing Mini-CAD objects: Mark objects”).

After marking your objects (regardless of how) move them to their new positions by holding the left mouse button. To move a marked object only horizontally, hold the X key and move the marked objects using the left mouse button. The mouse pointer turns into a left-right pointer. If objects only need to be moved vertically, hold the Y key and move using the left mouse button. The mouse pointer turns into an up-down pointer.
