Step-by-step instructions :
You must do either step 1d (preselection) or step 3 (in-tool selection) to perform this operation.The following instructions assume that you are using a 3-button mouse.
1 . Before using this tool:
1a : Open ( Ctrl + o ) and select a view that shows the grid line(s) you want to move.
1b (recommended) : It is generally a good idea to turn depth checking off so that you can, in the confirmation step (step 6), see any members that are stretched or moved as a result of their ends being pinned to views that are moved.
1c (as needed) : Edit member ends as needed to open the Member End Edit window and pin or unpin member ends to views that you will be moving.
Select Items bindings (step 1d) 1d (optional) : Set the selection filter to ' Grid Lines '. Use Select or Select+ (or draw an area box ) to select the grid lines that you want to move.

Method 1 : Click the Move View icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' File -- Views/Grids ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).
Method 2 : If " Modeling layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose File > Views/Grids > Move View .
Method 3 & 4 : Move View can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface .
Method 5 : If you preselected a view (in step 1b), you can right-click and choose " Move Grid " on the context menu .
