[solved] How to move point of line or shape?

Post by Markz » Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:03 am

Is there a way to select a single end of a line, and then move it to an arbitrary location and have the line follow?

Likewise, can you move a single point in a polygon or other regular structure and have the other lines redraw automatically?

Thanks!

There are 2 little things you should play with.

1) Left click and hold ON the point and then drag [that point]
2) Left click and hold on entity near a point and then drag.

2 distinct actions. Play with lines, polylines, circles, ellipses, blocks, dimensions.... play....

Play, play, play.....
