Move Points (2-D)

2-D Geometry > Transform > Move > Move, points

The pop-up functions enable you to change the position of individual points and lines.

• Dimensionings of moved points are automatically corrected.
• Reference points of a text are moved.
• If you change the start point or end point of a circular arc, the radius and the position of the midpoint changes.
• Points on the conjugated diameter are also changed.

To access the pop-up containing the functions, right-click the symbol to activate it. If you select the symbol by left-clicking, the first function in the pop-up is executed.

In rectangle, Sketch

2-D Geometry > Transform > Move > In rectangle, Sketch

This function enables you to move points in a rectangle. You can specify up to 10 rectangles.

Those points that are no longer visible due to zoom operations are also moved. To avoid errors, this is not possible when deleting lines in a rectangle.

If overlaps are activated, the overlapped invisible lines are also moved. This happens regardless of the settings in the Configuration Editor at ... > System settings > Visualisation > 2-D > Consider overlaps.

1. Draw the rectangles.
2. Left-click to end the drawing of rectangles.
3. Specify the start and end points of the displacement vector.

Once you have placed the start point, the points attach dynamically to the cursor and are moved in the grid that depends on the zoom factor.

This function enables you to create variants from existing geometries.

Creating a variant by moving the points in the rectangle

In rectangle, Free

2-D Geometry > Transform > Move > In rectangle, Free

This function enables you to move points in a rectangle about a fixed vector. You can specify up to 10 rectangles.

1. Draw the rectangles.
2. Left-click to end the drawing of rectangles.
3. Specify the start and end points of the displacement vector.

In rectangle, Shortened representation

2-D Geometry > Transform > Move > In rectangle, Shortened representation

You use this function to provide a shortened representation of a part.

1. First draw a rectangle around the part to be shortened (1) (including dimensions).
2. Now draw a rectangle around the points to be shortened (2).
3. Identify the shortening vector (3) via two points.

(1) Part to be shortened
(2) Points to be shortened
(3) Reduction vector

Individual, Direct

2-D Geometry > Transform > Move > Indvidual, Direct  

This function enables you to move individual points about any vector.

1. Identify the point to be moved.
2. Then use a point option to specify the target point.

Lines that are connected to this point are also moved. You can use the same displacement vector to move several points.

Right-click to access the selection menu again.

Individual, Dynamic

2-D Geometry > Transform > Move > Individual, Dynamic

You use this function to move points graphically.

1. Identify the point to be moved. The point now attaches to the cursor and can be positioned anywhere in the drawing.
2. Define the target point.

Lines that are connected to this point are also moved or distorted. You can also use the same displacement vector to move other points. The vector is not deleted until you end the function.

(1) Identified point
(2) Target point
(3) Changed lines
