Alias: PMOVE

Method

Allows you to move entities in a block. The appearance of the block can be controlled by changing the value of the parameter associated with the move operation.

The command can be launched from the Command line by typing PARAMETRICMOVE.

Another way to launch this command is from the ribbon in a Drafting workspace. Go to the 2D Parametric > OPERATIONS tab and click the Move tool button.

Note: The command works similarly to the PARAMETRICSTRETCH command, whose workflow is described in the article 2D parametric blocks.

Options within the command

Base point of displacement
Allows you to select a location point for the origin of the move vector.
Second point of displacement
Allows you to select a location point for the head of the move vector.
Select entities which can be affected by the operation
Allows you to edit the selection of entities to be affected by the move operation. All selected entities will be highlighted.
change Linked behavior
Allows you to decide whether the entities will follow operation definition points when adjusted by other operations.
Note: When affected by a parametric stretch operation, linked parametric move operations behave differently from their unlinked variant.
Enter name for the operation parameter
Allows you to give a name to the move parameter. The default name is Move.

The block entities that were selected will have their position adjusted according to the new value of the move parameter.
