2D Commands to move objects

Question

Dear Support Team , 
 I have found four commands to move objects in 2D Command reference: 
 
 move 
 movedisconnected 
 movepoint 
 movepointmagnetic 
 
 The description of move and movedisconnected commands and movepoint and movepointmagnetic are quite similar. The first pair commands is for an object like line or point. The second pair commands is for a point of a polygon. 
 Could you please inform me what is the difference between them? Are there any particular features (or maybe benefits) in movedisconnected and movepointmagnetic commands? 
 Thank you in advance.

Dear Rushan, 
 As you correctly mention the move and movedisconnected commands are related to any line or point object. 
 The difference is that when the move command is run all connected objects on that point or line will also move. You can consider the move command for points and lines a magnetic move feature. 
 In the example below, if the following command is run both the line and the point load will move: move Line_1 0 2 
 
 With the movedisconnected you can allow to move only the line and not any other objects connected to the line: movedisconnected Line_1 0 2 
 This is also relevant if you need to move a point load that is on a polygon point (i.e. edge point). The move command will act as a magnetic move so both the point load and the polygon point will move, which will move the polygon lines, too. In that case, you can use the movedisconnected command to only move the point and nothing else connected to it. 
 
 The same principle is considered with the polygon points, e.g. where you can use the movepoint and movepointmagnetic commands. The first command allows moving a polygon point without affecting any other objects attached at this edge. 
 If you consider the example with the polygon above, the movepoint command run for the top-right corner will only move the polygon point (and lines) but not the point load. The movepointmagnetic command, though, will move both. movepoint Polygon_1 2 (5 1.5) vs. movepointmagnetic Polygon_1 2 (5 1.5) 
 The default commands generated when using the move icon at the side toolbar are: 
 
 for points/line: move 
 for polygons: movepointmagnetic
