Move Points

This command allows you to move Carlson points, one at a time by selecting any part of the point. Each Carlson point is made of three entities: a POINT entity, a symbol, and a point attribute block with the point number, elevation and description. This routine updates the X,Y of the point and not the Z. To update the elevation, use commands such as Edit Point Attributes or Translate Points. All these parts of the point are moved together with this routine. Any point moved using this command will result with the original source coordinate file (which is not necessarily the current coordinate file) updated with the new position of the point. Setting the Link Points with CRD File from Carlson Configure->General Settings is not necessary because the coordinate file is always updated since the Move Points command has built-in smarts to lookup the coordinate file for the selected point entity. The Link Points settings applies to generic CAD commands like the regular Move command.
