Move
In principle, you can move all elements in Arbortext IsoDraw. In order to move an element, select it first with the arrow cursor. Then use the cursor to click anywhere on the contour of the element (outside the selection points on the contour) or on its center point and drag it to the required position. The same procedure applies if you have selected several elements and/or groups.
If you begin to move elements immediately after depressing the mouse button, the only element displayed on the screen will be the one you have clicked. This is designed to save time during the screen redrawing process. If, however, you want to see more accurately what you are moving, wait a short while after depressing the mouse button. The cursor becomes a move cursor. If you now move the mouse, you will see all the elements on the screen you want to move.
When moving with the mouse, the elements are attracted by neighboring element points or the Grid Snap points, depending on the current setting. This may affect the direction you want to move the elements in. You can reverse the current setting of the Grid Snap function temporarily by holding down the CTRL key while you move the element.

The various features encountered when moving the different elements are described in the sections relating to the particular element types.
You also have a second option when moving ellipses and threads. You will often find that you need to move a ellipse along its own minor axis or the diameter. By holding down both the SHIFT key and ALT key while moving the ellipse, you will only be able to move the ellipse in these directions. You can also use this option if you want to drag the ellipse with the double arrow while holding down the CAPS LOCK key.
