Brandon here back with another new 2 minute Tuesday!

In todays video we take a look at how to move objects within AutoCAD.

We take a look at the basic move command, as well as multiple other method to quickly and easily move objects within AutoCAD. I also go through a cool bonus command that helps by combining multiple commands into one!

Oh and let me know what autocad tip, trick or tutorial you'd like to see in the next one down below!

Cheers and thanks for watching

Clear, concise, and straight to the point. I appreciate you, Brandon.

Hi Brandon, thanks for the great website --is there a way to snap one object at one altitude z1 to another existing object at a new altitude z2 for example? e.g. I have solar panels at 530m and I want to move them quickly to terrain at 190m. Can I click on the terrain altitude at tell the panels to move to that alitude. I was changing the z value but if there is a faster way I would do that. Thanks.

Question - when you try to move by putting "units" what units do you mean? I tried moving my box 1/8" L and 1/8" down (-1/8", -1/8") and it went far away from the location I was hoping. Any ides on how to figure out what units you are using and if you can change them?

Thank you, you make it easy for a novice like me♥️🤞🏽

How do you move an object locked in a certain plane whilst snapping too a point not on that plane to bring it inline with the selected point but not move the object to the snapped point?

Hi there brandon, can i know how to i move an object a specific distance away from another object?

Thanks for the tips. However, I was looking for something specific that wasn't covered. What about moving to a coordinate? I have tried to move an object by clicking on the base corner, and then moving to 0, 0, 0 but it never moves. It acts like a displacement. Is it not possible to move to a coordinate? Am i doing something wrong?
Steps:
1. Click move
2. highlight object. Enter
3. select base point
4. type 0, 0, 0 and it doesn't move. So I assume this is acting like a displacement. Is there a step I'm missing?

What about using the control key and arrow keys? I know in other programs there's a quick move with a certain key configuration, is there anything like that in autocad?

how to move object without displacing the shape of other object?

[ignisGladius]

I did not find what i came for. The move command gives you the option to select two points of reference from the object, but i cant. Its making me furious that i cant advance from this stupidity!
