Moving components

moving components

There are three methods of moving components which are already in the sketch:

• The component cursor method

• The drag and drop method

• The arrow key method

In all cases the sketch must be in the unlocked state.

Component cursor method

cursor method

This method can only be used to move a single component.

Double-click on the component: the component is removed from the sketch and reappears as the cursor.

Note

Any lines that were attached to the component will be left as loose lines.

Drag and drop method

This method can be used to move one or more components:

1. Select the component(s) you wish to move.

2. Keep pressing the left mouse button.

3. Move the pointer and the component(s) to the new position.

4. Release the left mouse button.

Simcenter Amesim will attempt to move the components as a unit with the lines still connected.

Arrow key method

This method can be used to move one or more components:

1. First select the component(s) you wish to move.

The system moves 16 pixels for each key stroke. If you use the arrow keys, in combination with the Ctrl key, the system will move 1 pixel for each key stroke.
