Move Objects Along a Vector
 
 
 

You can move all drawing objects and attribute reference objects along a specified vector.

To move an object, use the Move method provided for that object. This method requires two coordinates as input. These coordinates define a displacement vector indicating how far the given object is to be moved and in what direction.

Move a circle along a vector

This example creates a circle and then moves that circle two units along the X axis.

Sub Ch4_MoveCircle()
    ' Create the circle
    Dim circleObj As AcadCircle
    Dim center(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim radius As Double
    center(0) = 2#: center(1) = 2#: center(2) = 0#
    radius = 0.5
    Set circleObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace. _
 AddCircle(center, radius)
    ZoomAll
      
    ' Define the points that make up the move vector.
    ' The move vector will move the circle 2 units
    ' along the x axis.
    Dim point1(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim point2(0 To 2) As Double
    point1(0) = 0: point1(1) = 0: point1(2) = 0
    point2(0) = 2: point2(1) = 0: point2(2) = 0
      
    ' Move the circle
    circleObj.Move point1, point2
    circleObj.Update
End Sub
