Moving a template object

2026

Tekla Structures

You can move an object in a template component by selecting it and dragging it to a new position. If you want to be more precise in moving an object do the following:

Select the object.
Press Ctrl+M and a dialog box opens where you can specify the offset values.
- Horizontal is a distance relative to the original position. Positive values insert the object to the right.
- Vertical is a distance relative to the original position. Positive values insert the object up.
If you hold down the Shift key while moving an object, it locks the movement in the horizontal or vertical depending on which direction you choose.
To see the results click Preview. If the settings are not to your liking, you can readjust them and repeat the process.
Click OK.

To move an object to a different template component, cut and paste it.
