Yuri, Make sure you have "drag connected tracks" selected in the preferences dialogue though, then it works fine for single components. Just a pity it doesn't work for entire selections (like on cadstar). Works okay for moving a couple of items, more and the move selection method is better.
Take it easy.

I believe that the drag function does not drag connected tracks, only the component. So I guess it is not truly a drag function in terms of routed connections. Sincerely, Brad Velander.

It does not seem to work for selections of multiple BV> items. There is no Drag command for selections. Drag command doesn't work and with singular objects also. I press hot keys M, D then point component and try to drag it. But all traces stay on their old places. So lets me describe the initial problem: My customer needs to change old pcb. He want move groups of components and save routed traces near them. Maybe it would be better to select group of objects, move selection, then lock it and reroute all traces around selection. Really I want to know how to edit old pcb projects effectively. ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: 6629A88C95B32A43986297B21CFEFF5ADABA5897 * ************************************************************************ -- Best regards, Yuri V.
