Draft Move/ru

Description
The Move tool moves or copies the selected objects from one point to another.

The Move tool can be used on 2D shapes created with the Draft Workbench or Sketcher Workbench, but can also be used on many types of 3D objects such as those created with the Part Workbench or Arch Workbench.

To produce various copies in different arrangements use Draft Array, Draft PathArray and Draft PointArray.



Usage

 * 1) Select the objects that you wish to move or copy.
 * 2) Press the  button, or press  then  keys. If no object is selected, you will be invited to select one.
 * 3) Click a first point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the  button. This serves as the base point of the operation.
 * 4) Click another point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate and press the  button. This is the new position of the base point.

Limitations
When moving an object that is based on a Sketcher Sketch, for example, a feature created with the PartDesign Workbench (Pad, Revolution, etc.) you must move the original sketch. If you move the derived object, it will just go back to the position defined by the sketch.

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. You can press the  button when you have the desired values to insert the point.
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle relative mode. 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 origin (0,0,0).
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle continue mode. If continue mode is on, the Move tool will restart after you finish the operation, allowing you to move or copy the objects again without pressing the tool button again.
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle copy mode. If copy mode is on, the Move tool will keep the original shape in its place but will make a copy at the second point.
 * You can use both and  to place several copies in sequence. In this case, the duplicated element is the last placed copy.


 * Hold after the first point to also toggle copy mode. Keeping  pressed after clicking on the second point will allow you to continue placing copies; release  to finish the operation and see all copies.
 * Hold while moving to force snapping your point to the nearest snap location, independently of the distance.
 * Hold while moving to constrain your next point horizontally or vertically in relation to the last one.
 * Press or the  button to abort the current command; copies already placed will remain.

Scripting
Draft API and FreeCAD Scripting Basics.

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


 * Moves the base point of the objects in by the displacement and direction indicated by.
 * is either a single object or a list of objects.
 * The displacement vector is relative to the base point of the object, which means that if an object is moved 2 units, and then another 2 units, it will have moved 4 units in total from its original position.


 * If is  copies are created instead of moving the original objects.
 * is returned with the original moved objects, or with the new copies.
 * is either a single object or a list of objects, depending on the input.
