Moving Objects Manually

To move an object manually on the layout canvas:

1. From the layout window menu bar, choose Edit – Move.
   The layout window prompts you to select an object to move.
2. Click an object in either the layout or the schematic.
   The object is highlighted in both the schematic and layout windows. An outline of the object appears in the layout canvas and follows the cursor until you click in the layout canvas to place the object.
   Draglines show the connections from pins of the selected object to pins of the nearest instance or the nearest I/O pin.
   The layout window prompts you to click the new location for the object.
3. Click the location where you want to place the object.
   The object is moved to the new location.
   If you select a component in the layout or the schematic before you choose the Move command, Layout XL highlights the corresponding component in the schematic or layout.
4. Click another object to move or press Esc to cancel the command.

Using the Move command cancels any existing commands in the current or in other windows.
