Hello Daily AutoCAD readers,

MOVE is one of the simplest commands that you can use in AutoCAD. MOVE is an editing command that we use very frequently to carry an entity from one location to another. You can access MOVE command either from edit menu or toolbar.

Command: _MOVE
Select objects: (Select the entities that will be moved)
Specify base point or [Displacement] <Displacement>: (1st point)
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>: (2nd point)

Fig.1 Hold your mouse cursor over the upper right corner of the door for some time and drag it towards right direction.

In this example, you can see how to move a window that is not in its usual location to upper side of a door. After executing the command, select the entities that will make up the window by using an appropriate selection method. Then, you will come up against the “Specify base point or [Displacement] <Displacement>-:” message. At this stage, you will move the entities that you have selected from one location to another and the second point that you will select is very important. In the example, I told you that we will move the upper side of window to the upper side of door. This means that, we can select any point that is on the upper side of the window as reference point. Here, I chose the upper left corner.

Now, AutoCAD will prompt you to select the second point. In order for the second point to be on the upper side of door, you should make aligning by using tracking method (hold your mouse cursor on the corner of the door and drag it towards right direction in the same alignment. If there is a dashed alignment line is seen, then it is OK.). And, move your window to this point.

Have a nice day.
