MOVE


Function
Moves objects and elements.

Syntax
MOVE • •..
MOVE package_name •..

Mouse
Right button rotates the element or selects a group.
Left-click&drag immediately moves the object.

Keyboard
F7: MOVE activates the MOVE command.

See also GROUP, RATSNEST

The MOVE command is used to move objects. Packages can also be selected with the package name. This is especially useful if the package is not in the currently shown screen window.

Components can be moved only if the appropriate tOrigins/bOrigins layer is visible.

The MOVE command has no effect on layers that are not visible (refer to DISPLAY).

The ends of wires (tracks) that are connected to an element cannot be moved at this point.

When moving elements, connected wires (tracks) that belong to a signal are moved too (beware of short circuits!).

If an object is selected with the left mouse button and the button is not released, the object can be moved immediately ("click&drag"). In this mode, however, it is not possible to rotate or mirror the object while moving it.

Move Wires

If, following a MOVE command, two wires from different signals are shorted together, they are maintained as separate signals and the error will be flagged by the DRC command.

Move Groups

In order to move a group, the selected objects are defined in the normal way (GROUP command and polygon) before selecting the MOVE command and clicking the group with the right mouse button. The entire group can now be moved and rotated with the right mouse button.

Hints for Schematics

If a supply pin (Direction Sup) is placed on a net, the pin name is allocated to this net.

Pins placed on each other are connected together.

If unconnected pins of an element are placed on nets or pins then they are connected with them.

If nets are moved over pins they are not connected with them.
