2 . The status line prompts, "Locate a reference point:". Various locators become active along with Locate - Pan - Return mouse bindings. Left-click (Locate) where you want to place the reference point.

Alternative: Press Esc or right-click (Return) to end the command.

3 . The status line prompts "Locate second point:". Left-click (Locate) where you want to move the grid line (view) to with respect to the reference point.

Alternative: Press Esc or right-click (Return) to end the command.

4 . The grid line(s) (view) is moved along with any member ends that were previously pinned to the grid line. Yes-No mouse bindings become active and the status line prompts, "Confirm move?".

Alternative 1: Left-click (Yes) to confirm that the grid line(s) and members pinned to them have been properly relocated.

Alternative 2: Right-click (No) to end the Move Views operation and keep views where they were originally located.

  • If member ends are pinned to the views you move, members may be moved or stretched with the views.
  • An alternative to Move Views is to use Save View As to replace an existing view with a view at a different location in the model.
