- MOVEF Menu: PEDIT
- ==============================================================================
- Moves, by a relative displacement, the contents of a specified fence.
-
- 1. (POINT) move from point
- 2. (POINT) to point
- 3.*(POINT) first point of fence (<ENTER> for a NEW to point)
- 4.*(POINT) opposite point of fence (<ENTER> for a NEW fence)
- 5.*(Y/N) keep the result ?
-
- Description
-
- This command allows the user to specify a displacement by which all the points
- that lie within a defined fence will be moved. The spatial displacement is
- defined by picking two points. The three-dimensional difference between these
- two points is the displacement given to all vertices within the fence.
-
- Entities that are only partially within the fence are affected in a variety of
- ways, depending on the type of entity, as follows:
-
- All entities that are totally included within the fence will be moved except
- for hatch patterns and area fill patterns. (Linear patterns and multi-layer
- wall fill patterns will be moved.)
-
- Entities that are partially included within the fence will in most cases be
- stretched, i.e., the part in the fence will be displaced while the part
- outside the fence will maintain its position.
-
- There are several exceptions:
-
- Line (wire) arcs will not be stretched. They will only be moved if they are
- totally within the fence.
-
- Polygon arcs will be moved in their entirety (they may therefore be
- disconnected from other parts of an entity in which they exist, e.g., quarter
- cylinder).
-
- Arcs created using the \surf command will
- be stretched (distorted).
-
- Solid complex (type 9) polygons that have been involved
- in set operations with cylinders or polygon arcs will be stretched
- (distorted).
-
- Placed entities will not be stretched. They will only be
- moved if they are totally within the fence.
-
- Text entities will not be stretched. They will only be
- moved if they are totally within the fence. (Linear patterns and multi-layer
- wall fill patterns will be stretched.)
-
- Dimension lines will be stretched and the dimension text
- will be updated automatically.
-
- WARNING: Take care when stretching axial and multi-layer
- walls. Ensure that openings are either totally within or outside the
- fence. This command should not be used partially on multi-layer wall
- arcs.
- Once the change has been executed on screen you are asked if you wish
- to keep the result. If you reply `n', the operation is undone.
-
- You are prompted for additional fences, that will be moved by the
- same displacement, until you enter a new command.
-
- Example \movef 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 4 4 0 y
-
- Result:All the points within the 4 x 4 unit fence (000 to 4 4 0) are moved by
- 1 unit in the positive x direction.
