Relocating Objects

To move a selected object, position the mouse pointer on the border, not on a polygon point, of the object, or, in the case of roads and railways, on the centre line. Hold down the mouse button and a crossed arrow appears.

Then move the object to the desired location. The object is moved, and the co-ordinates are updated in the pertinent object list.

To move an object horizontally or vertically along the x or y axes, press Shift while you move it.

Relocating objects using the keyboard

Selected objects can be relocated by holding the CTRL key while pressing the arrow keys in the x (← →) and y (↑ ↓) direction. The following steps are available:

  • CTRL + Arrow: shift by 10 cm
  • CTRL + SHIFT + Arrow: shift by 1 m.
