Description This feature is used to move a single object in the current document.

Use Simply position the cursor over the object to be moved and activate the feature (you can then release the SHIFT and CTRL keys if you wish). The object will appear floating on the cursor. Move the object to the desired position and release the left mouse button to effect placement. Right-click or press ESC whilst the object is floating on the cursor, to cancel the move.

Press CTRL+SPACEBAR while in movement mode to rotate the object. Rotation is anti-clockwise and in steps of 90°.

Press the X or Y keys while in movement mode to flip the object along the X-axis or Y-axis respectively.

Notes The object does not require to be selected in order to use this feature.

Press the ALT key while moving, to constrain the direction of movement to the horizontal or vertical axis, depending on the initial direction of movement.

Connectivity is not maintained when using this feature. If connectivity needs to be maintained during a move, use the Drag Single Object feature instead.

The Schematic Editor/Schematic Library Editor automatically stacks objects, text and graphics in layers. Each object is on a different layer depending on the creation order and therefore it is possible to place objects so that they overlap. The objects created or added recently are always on the top layer. When using this feature to reposition an object, the object will retain its original order in the stack.
