   Step-by-step instructions :

The following instructions assume that you are using a 3-button mouse. You must do either step 1b (preselection) or step 3 (in-tool selection) to perform this operation.

1 . Before invoking Move Notes :

1a . Notes need to be displayed before you can select them for moving. To permit notes that can be displayed to be displayed, you need to check the box for " Notes " in Display Options .

1b . Open ( Ctrl + o ) a view that shows the notes that you want to move and the location where you want to move them.

Select Items bindings (step 1c)

1c (optional) : In Select Items mode with an appropriate selection filter selected, click a note ( Select ) to select it. 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).

Methods 2 : If " Modeling layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Model > Move Notes .

Method 3, 4 or 5 : Move Notes can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface .

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

Select Item(s) bindings

3a (if you didn't preselect) : The program activates Select Item(s) mode mouse bindings, and the status line prompts you to select the notes you want to move. Press the Enter key or right-click ( Menu ) and choose " OK " on the menu when you are done selecting.

4 . Skip this step if you only selected one note in step 1c or step 3. If you selected one note, a reference point is selected for you automatically, at the tip of the note's pointer, and you can go directly to step 5.
