To Move the Contents of a Room Graphically, Using the Move Wizard

  1. Use the Browse window to locate the room whose contents you want to move.

  2. In the view window, use the Place Fence tool to place a fence around the entire room, to ensure that all the assets in the room are selected.

  3. Back in the Browse window, right-click the room whose contents you want to move and choose Move Wizard.
    The Move Wizard opens and displays the Select Move Type page. The Graphical Move option is on by default, and the method used to select the contents of the room in the view window is displayed in the Object selection dropdown list box (in this case, Fence).


  4. In the Move Wizard, click Next.
    The Select Objects page displays. This groups the objects contained in the room either by class or dependency. Change the view as desired.


  5. Click the + icon to open the list and select or deselect items tobe moved.
    Objects to be moved display with a red check mark,those which remain do not. The object's highlight in MicroStation is dropped when it is deselected and restored if reselected. Deselecting an object from a dependency or class causes its red check mark to change to yellow.

  6. When you have finished selecting the items to be moved, click Next.
    If any objects are linked to the objects being moved,the Drop Links page displays. You can view objects and linked objects by dependency or by class.


    Clicking a linked object toggles the dropping and maintaining of links. Links which will be maintained display a link icon, those which will be dropped display a red delete icon.

  7. Turn off any links which you do not want to be maintained, then click Finish.
    The prompt, Move assets > Select origin, displays in MicroStation's Status bar.

  8. In the view window, enter a data point to indicate the starting point of the move, then another to indicate the destination of the move.
    The prompt, Move assets > Select angle or reset to skip the angle, displays in MicroStation's Status bar.

  9. Place a data point to rotate the asset, or reset to complete the move.
    The Move Wizard closes, and the move is completed.
Note: If Angle Lock is on (Settings > Design File, Active Angle category), this display rotates through the Angle Lock angle around the last data point. If Angle Lock is not on, moving the cursor on the screen rotates this display. If Axis Lock is on(Settings > Design File, Axis category), this display rotates through multiples of the axis lock increment angle.
