NAME
MOVE - Move a component from one location to another
SYNOPSIS
MOV [<component>[<layer>]] { [[:P] <xysel>] | [:R <xy1> <xy2>] xyref xynewref } ... <EOC>
DESCRIPTION
MOves a component in the current device. Can be optionally restricted
to move only a specified <component> and <layer>. In any case, only
components which have been made modifiable by the SHOW command can be
moved.
Components to be moved can be selected either by point or by region.
The default mode is select by point. However, if you change to select
by region with :R, you can later change back with :P. The selection
mode is "sticky" so you can do multiple moves of the same type
without re-entering the option.
When selecting by point, an <xysel> selects and highlights the component
to be moved. A bounding box is displayed after the <xyref> reference
point is given. The box tracks the mouse until the final location of
the reference point is given by <xynewref>. Either a double click on
<xynewwref> or an EOC will finalize the move. Until finalized, multiple
<xynewref> points can be given to fine tune the placement. EOC does not
terminate the command, but will still allow for further MOVes to be made.
The :R options allows selection by region. A bounding box is selected
with <xy1> and <xy2>. A rubberband rectangle will be displayed once
<xy1> is entered. When <xy2> is entered, the box is remembered, but
erased. When the <xyref> reference point is given, the bounding box is
redisplayed. The box tracks the mouse until the final location of the
reference point is given by <xynewref>.
OPTIONS
- <component>
-
A designator limiting the command to a given component.
One of E=everything, A=arc, C=circle, I=instances, L=lines,
N=notes, O=oval, P=polygons, R=rectangles, T=text, or a valid
instance name. If an instance name is given, only instances of
that name will be selected. If no <component> is given, then
components of any type may be selected.
- <layer>
-
Layer number, "0" or omitted designates all layers. Not used
when <component> is an instance name.
- <xysel>
-
A point to select the component to be moved.
- <xyref>
-
A reference point on the component.
- <xynewref>
-
The new location for the reference point after the move.
- :P
-
Move by Point (default). Move the single component closest to <xysel>.
- :R
-
Move by Region. Identify zero or more components whose bounding boxes
are entirely contained within the rectangular region defined by <xy1> &
<xy2>. When selecting by region, a rubber-banded rectangle will be drawn
after the first coordinate to help the user define the region.
