You can hold down the Shift key and left-click ( Select+ ) to select additional notes. This step is optional since, if it is not performed, you will be prompted to select one or more notes in step 3. Skip step 3 if you perform this step.

2 . Invoke Move Notes using one (1) of the following methods:

In Modeling :

Method 1 : Click the Move Notes icon. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Model ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).

3 . Skip this step if you already selected one or more notes in step 1c.
