Drag and Drop

Parent Previous Next

By clicking and holding the left mouse button on selected objects in the View window, the Drag and Drop operation is started. This operation allows selected objects to be moved to a new location. Simultaneous holding the Ctrl keyboard button leads to the creation of a copy of the selected object. The copy can be moved into a different view, or in a different open project. The operation terminates by holding the Esc button or by clicking the right mouse button. Drag and Drop can be used for most geometric objects, but also for auxiliary objects such as comments, labels, and bitmaps.


Holding the Shift button during the Drag and Drop operation leads to movement of selected objects in a direction perpendicular to the current Working Plane (available only for three-dimensional objects).
