gvSIG-Desktop 1.12. User manual

This tool allows you to move the selected objects from one point to another in the view by indicating a move vector. You can use this tool by selecting it from the tool bar by clicking on the "Move" button

or by going to the “Geometry” menu bar, then to “Modify” and "Move".

If you wish to move an element, select the object you wish to move and then activate the “Move” option. Click on the graphic area to define the move point.

gvSIG will create a red projection of the elements it is moving which can be used as a guide to position them in their new location.

When the element is located in the desired position, left click on the mouse again to define the new position.

To use the “move” command from the command console, write the command “move”. The console will show a message requesting a move point. Input the point.

Then input the second move point. Press “Enter” and the object will move to its new position.
