<b>Function</b>
<dd>
Moves objects.
<p>
<dt>
<b>Syntax</b>
<dd>
<tt>MOVE * *..</tt><br>
<tt>MOVE element_name *..</tt>
<p>
<dt>
<b>Mouse</b>
<dd>
Center button mirrors the object or the group, respectively.<br>
Right button rotates the object or selects the group.<br>
Left-click&drag immediately moves the object.<br>
Right-click&drag immediately moves the group.
<p>
<dt>
<b>Keyboard</b>
<dd>
<tt>Ctrl</tt> selects an object at its origin.<br>
<tt>F7: MOVE</tt> activates the MOVE command.
<p>
</dl>

<p>
The MOVE command is used to move objects. Elements can also be selected by their name.
This is especially useful if the element is not in the currently shown
screen window.
<p>
Elements can be moved only if the appropriate tOrigins/bOrigins
layer is visible.
<p>
The MOVE command has no effect on layers that are not
visible (refer to DISPLAY).
<p>
The ends of wires (tracks) that are connected to an element cannot
be moved at this point.
<p>
When moving elements, connected wires (tracks) that belong to a signal
are moved too (beware of short circuits!).
<p>
If an object is selected with the left mouse button and the button is
not released, the object can be moved immediately ("click&drag").
The same applies to groups when using the right mouse button.
In this mode, however, it is not possible to rotate or mirror the object
while moving it.
<p>
<b>Move Wires</b>
<p>
If, following a MOVE command, two wires from different
signals are shorted together, they are maintained as separate signals
and the error will be flagged by the DRC command.
<p>
<b>Move Groups</b>
<p>
In order to move a group, the selected objects are defined in the
normal way (GROUP command and polygon) before selecting the MOVE command
and clicking the group with the right mouse button. The entire group
can now be moved and rotated with the right mouse button.
<p>
<b>Hints for Schematics</b>
<p>
If a supply pin (Direction Sup) is placed on a net, the pin name is
allocated to this net.
<p>
Pins placed on each other are connected together.
<p>
If unconnected pins of an element are placed on nets or pins then
they are connected with them.
<p>
If nets are moved over pins they are not connected with them.
<p>
<b>Selecting objects at their origin</b>
<p>
Normally a selected object remains within the grid it has been originally
placed on. If you press <tt>Ctrl</tt> while selecting an object, the point
where you have selected the object is pulled towards the cursor and snapped into
the current grid.
<p>
If you select a <i>wire</i> somewhere in the middle (not at one of its end points)
with <tt>Ctrl</tt> pressed, the end points stay fixed and you can bend the wire,
which changes it into an arc. The same way the curvature of an arc (which is basically
a wire) can be modified.
<p>
If you select a <i>rectangle</i> at one of its corners with <tt>Ctrl</tt> pressed,
you can resize both the rectangle's width and height. Selecting an edge of the
rectangle with <tt>Ctrl</tt> pressed lets you resize the rectangle's width or height,
respectively. Selecting the rectangle at its center with <tt>Ctrl</tt> pressed
pulls it towards the cursor and snaps it into the current grid.
<p>
If you select a <i>circle</i> at its circumference with <tt>Ctrl</tt> pressed, the
center stays fixed and you can resize the circle's diameter. Selecting the center point
this way pulls it towards the cursor and snaps it into the current grid.
