2.4 Moving Drawing Elements

A common action is to move elements in a drawing, for the purposes of reorganization or to make the content easier to read.

To move a drawing element:

  1. Click Switch to Edit Mode in the Layout view status bar.

    In the Explorer pane, the word (Locked) displays next to the selected element. No one else can modify the Layout view for this element.

    The view updates to display the drawing tools toolbar.

  2. Drag the elements to the appropriate location.

  3. Save the changes to the drawing by pressing Ctrl+S or by right-clicking the background and selecting Save Drawing.
