Description

Sets the position of the graphics pen in the VectorWorks document by moving a specified distance from the current pen location.

Horizontal and vertical offsets from the initial location. The final position of the pen at a point whose coordinates are (x+moveDX, y+moveDY).

PROCEDURE Move(move : REAL);

def vs.Move(move):
    return None

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
move	REAL	X-Y offset distance.

Remarks

The difference between this and MoveTo is that this is relative, whereas MoveTo is absolute.

Examples

VectorScript

Move(6,1);
{ moves the graphics pen 6 units to the right }
{ and 1 unit up from the current position.    }

Python

vs.Move(6, 1)

BEGIN
	Line (0, tickMark [3]);
	SetLW (LNewObj, markerPenSize);
	Move (dx, -tickMark [3]);
END

	Move (-(dx2 + dx1), height - dy3);
	PenLoc (x, y);
	numLines := numLines + 1;
END;

begin
Move((sWidth + gAisleWidth)/2, #0);
PenLoc(center_x, center_y);
end else begin
Move((sWidth - gAisleWidth)/2, #0);
PenLoc(center_x, center_y);

import vs

# Sets the position of the graphics pen in the VectorWorks document by moving
# a specified distance from the current pen location.
