Copy/Move/Mirror/Align - Move and Copy tabs

Used to move or make exact copies of an object, respectively.

SettingDescription
Alignment Here, you select the move direction of the actions.
  • 3D – The selected elements can be moved in all three dimensions.
  • 2D – The start and end points of the move are perpendicular to the current UCS-plane. This means that shapes are only moved within this UCS-plane.
  • X-Axis – The start and end points of the move are perpendicular to the X-axis of the current UCS-plane. This means that shapes are only moved parallel to the X-axis within this UCS-plane.
  • Y-Axis – The start and end points of the move are perpendicular to the Y-axis of the current UCS-plane. This means that shapes are only moved parallel to the Y-axis within this UCS-plane.
  • Z-Axis – The start and end points of the move are perpendicular to the Z-axis of the current UCS-plane. This means that shapes are only moved in vertical direction to this UCS-plane.
  • Free – You can move the selected elements in any of the three dimensions. The elements “drag” with the crosshairs and thus can be visibly moved.
Multiple When on, the object can be moved or multiple copies can be made (depending on the current action). When off, the action ends upon completion of the first move or copy.
