The Move State

You will get into this state after selecting in the popup menu of the Selected Item State the menu entry move. The selected items are now following the cursor.

If parts of the moving items are marked red, inserting at the current location would cause a clearance violation.

Several components can be moved at once. The internal route will also change location, if he is completely marked for moving. Components connected to items, which are not marked for moving, will not change location. Such components can eventually be moved in the Drag Menu State by dragging them with the left mouse button. If that does not work, you have to remove the route first.

The settings in the Move Parameter window are evaluated while moving components.
