Move View
Views > Transform > Move views, in rectangle
You need to distinguish between the following cases when moving views:
- The
active view is a master view
In this case, all views linked to the master view are taken into account. - The
active view is linked to a master view.
The active view can then initially only be moved in alignment direction of this master view. If, for example, you have used the 4 views function, the top view is linked to the front view. If you want to move the top view, this is initially only possible in vertical alignment direction. To exit the alignment direction, you use the functions of the Link views context menu. - The
active view has no links
If the active view has no links, it can be moved in any direction.
To move views in a selection rectangle, proceed as follows:
- Draw a rectangle around the views you want to move. All views that are entirely located within the rectangle will be moved.
- Specify the point in the drawing via which you want to move and re-position the view. Once you have selected the displacement point, a preview of the view(s) to be moved attaches to the cursor.
- Then specify the new position of the view(s). For positioning, auxiliary lines are faded in along a grid - similarly as in Sketch Technology - and the corresponding angles, distances and radii displayed at the cursor. Before defining the new position of the views, you can use the right mouse button to activate the Link views context menu, in which you can change the alignment direction.
If you want to move only the active view, click the icon and select Move view
.
Please note:
- Views can also be moved directly with the mouse using Drag&Drop. To do this, move the cursor on the view frame, press and hold down the LMB and move the cursor to the desired position. This behaviour can be changed by pressing the D key. After pressing the key, views are locked against Drag&Drop movements during the current HiCAD session. In this state, left-clicking the view frame with the mouse button held down causes a rectangular zoom window to be drawn. Pressing the D key again changes this behaviour back again.
- When you move a master view, the views linked to this master view will be moved as well. If you undo the transformation of the master view with the Undo last view transformation
function, this action will also affect the linked views.
