You can place model items in a different position than the existing one using the mouse or using the keyboard.
Using the keyboard, objects in column and row models can be moved only within the columns and rows in which they are placed. If you want to move objects between columns or rows in which the objects are allowed by the method, use the mouse or the Cut/Copy functionality.
Click the model item, for example, an object symbol or a graphic object and hold down the mouse button.
Drag the mouse pointer to the relevant position. The preview frame of the model item is displayed. If you move objects, lines indicate the alignment of the moving object to the placed objects and arrows indicate the distances.
Release the mouse button.
If you set a grid, the model item "jumps" to the grid. If multiple model items are selected for moving, they "jump" from one gridline to the next in the grid width you set.
If you want to place a model item in a position outside the visible area, you have a number of options:
Drag the model item to the edge of the modeling area. The visible area is moved automatically as long as you keep the model item in this position with the mouse button held down.
Reduce the zoom factor so that the new position will be visible, and drag the model item to the relevant position.
Hold down the Shift key and press the arrow keys to move the model item in the corresponding direction by increments of one gridline.
Hold down the Ctrl key and press the arrow keys to move the model item in the corresponding direction by increments of one pixel, regardless of the grid scale set.
Hold down the Alt key and press the arrow keys to move the model item in the corresponding direction by increments of four gridlines.
