Moving and Deleting an Object

Note

Sometimes you may fi nd that an object will not move the way you want it to. If this happens, try locking the part(s) of the object that you do not want to move (page 5-10), or temporarily unlock all objects (Clr Constraint, page 5-11).

1. Select the object you want to move.
