Move/Copy

When the Design Window is open, the following options are available for selection on the Shape tab, in the Move/Copy group:

  • Click Move Point to move points, move points on segments, move points by Z value, or move points on shapes that intersect. (Ctrl+M,S)

  • Click Move Point at Intersections to move a point on a selected shape and also move the position of the point on every other shape that shares that intersection. (Ctrl+M,I)

  • Click Move Point Z to move points or shapes and text elements along the Z axis. (Ctrl+M,Z)

  • Click Move to define a vector which will move the shape, text or layer triangulation elements you have a selected in the direction of the vector and to a distance specified by its end point. (Ctrl+M,N)

  • Click Move Z to adjust the Z elevation of one or more selected shapes or text elements. (Ctrl+M,M)

  • Click Rotate Z to rotate one or more selected shape, text or layer triangulation elements by a specified vector around the Z axis. (Ctrl+R,E)

  • Click Line Grade to change the gradient (Z value) between two points on a selected shape. (Ctrl+M,G)

  • Click Simplify Shape to define a 2D or 3D filter that will be used to simplify one or more selected shapes. (Ctrl+M,R)

  • Click Multiline Relimit to relimit a set of polylines by a selected polyline. (Ctrl+R,M)

  • Click Offset to offset a selected design element, or a copy of a selected design element, by a specified distance in an orthogonal X or Y direction. (Ctrl+Q,O)

  • Click Projection to project a copy of the selected design element(s) to a specified level or a specified distance, projecting up or down, or both. (Ctrl+Q,P)

  • Click Register Polyline to adjust the Z values of one or more polylines such that they follow the topography of a selected surface or solid. (Ctrl+Q,R) In the case of a solid, the upper or the lower surface of the solid can be limited to.

  • Click Convert Centrelines to Polygons to take a set of polylines and generate polygons a specified distance along those lines. (Ctrl+P,R)
