# Move

Moves objects a specified distance in a specified direction.
Use coordinates, grid snaps, object snaps, and other tools to move objects with precision.

- Command line enter Move
- Right click to choose "Move"
- Menu click "Modify/Move"

The following prompts are displayed.

## Select objects

Specifies which objects to move.

## Base point

Specifies the start point for the move.

## Second point

In combination with the first point, specifies a vector that indicates how far, and in what direction, the selected objects are moved.

If you press Enter to accept the Use first point as displacement value, the first point is interpreted as a relative X,Y,Z displacement. For example, if you specify 2,3 for the base point and press Enter at the next prompt, the objects move 2 units in the X direction and 3 units in the Y direction from their current position.
