How to move a reference using Batch process

I want to move a reference -500' on the xplane but I am a little confused how to get the Batch Process to pick it up. I have the move reference keyin but I am unsure how to tell it to move 500'. It is a basic question that I hope someone can answer for me. Thanks in advance!

  • Is your view rotated, or is this unrotated X & Y?

    I forgot that DX is along the view axes. The full keyin for DX = x,y is POINT VDELTA x,y

    If you want to go along the design axes, you will want DL = x,y. The full keyin for that command is POINT DELTA x,y

    If you want to move by distance and angle, you would use DI = d,a. The full keyin for that is POINT DISTANCE d,a

    You may need to select a view for the function to complete. you can add ;SELVIEW 1 to the end of your keyin. That might help.

    Actually, if you go to the Help file and search for DX, you will get the page for precision input keyins. You may well find the information you need there.
