Translating a Set of Entities

After starting the Move Copy Entities command, to apply a translation, proceed as follows:

1 Select the entities you want to apply the transformation to using a window selection.



The set of handles is displayed (for details on the handles, see the description of the Move Copy Entities command).



As you selected a set of entities, the origin of the transformation is placed in the center of the viewport.

2 To define a different starting point, click on Handle Origin in the selection list to expand it, right-click on Start point and select Reset in the context menu. Click on Start point and then specify the center of the circle.



The origin of the transformation is moved onto the center of the circle.

3 To translate the selected entities, drag the handle corresponding to the origin to the point on the left side of the bar, as in the following illustration.



Please note that a dynamic preview mechanism is provided, so that you can interctively check the new current position of the selected entities.

4 Click to confirm.
