Draft Move/de

Description
The Move tool moves or copies the selected objects from one point to another on the current work plane. If no object is selected, you will be invited to select one.



How to use

 * 1) Select objects you wish to move or copy
 * 2) Press the  button, or press  then  keys
 * 3) Click a first point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate
 * 4) Click another point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate

Options

 * Press, or  after a point to constrain the next point on the given axis.
 * To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press between each X, Y and Z component.
 * Press or click the checkbox to check/uncheck the  button. If relative mode is on, the coordinates of the next point are relative to the last one. If not, they are absolute, taken from the (0,0,0) origin point.
 * Press or click the checkbox to check/uncheck the  button. If continue mode is on, the Move tool will restart after you finish or close it, allowing you to move or copy the objects another time without pressing the Move button again.
 * Pressing or  or clicking the  button will make a copy of the objects, instead of moving them. If you keep  pressed after clicking the second point, you will be able to place more copies, until you release the  key.
 * Press while drawing to force snapping your point to the nearest snap location, independently of the distance.
 * Press while drawing to constrain your next point horizontally or vertically in relation to the last one.
 * Press or the  button to abort the current command.

Scripting
The Move tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:


 * Moves the given object or the objects contained in the given list in the direction and distance indicated by the given vector.
 * If copymode is True, the actual objects are not moved, but copies are created instead. Returns the object(s) (or their copies if copymode was True)
 * A list of the moved object (or the copies) is returned

Example:

Limitations

 * When moving (or changing Placement of) a document object (eg: Pad, Revolution, etc) which is based on a Sketch (from Sketcher/Part Design), you must move the original sketch. If you move the derived object, it will just go back to the position defined by the sketch.
