Move multiple points.

Post by Mikerosen »

Eric,
Please look at this drawing. With DrawingBoard, I could drag a selection box around line CD, which would also select endpoints of E and F. Then, I could move CD to the right. The right ends of E and F would stay where they are, but the left ends would shift with the vertical line.

With RC or iPD, this doesn't seem to be possible. I can move CD, but I have to trim the ends of E and F.

Is this somethng you could do?

Thanks,
Mike

Bonjour Mike,

With RealCADD, you can do this with the command "Move points".
Simply, select the Arrow tool and, with the Option or Alt key down, drag a rectangle around the points that you want move.
A dialog is displayed to enter the delta x and delta y of the displacement.

And this feature works also with the tool "Lasso".

I'll try it out, Eric. Many thanks. I've been missing this action, a lot!

EDIT: Just tried it; I love it!
Any chance of developing it for iPD?
