Move Component

Used to move components in groups of connected route subsets. Components rigid to or whose connections are collinear with the move direction are stretched. Moveable components appear dynamically attached to the pointer. Stretchable components are omitted.

The vertical segment is stretched when the move direction is up (left image). The two horizontal segments are stretched when the move direction is to the right (right image).

Tip: If any diffuser is connected to a duct system then selecting all and "move component" will not change the diffuser's position. Diffuser position will not change and duct will be stretched to maintain the connection with diffuser (in one direction).
