Objects on the map can be moved using standard click and drag techniques. To move an object to a new location, simply click and hold the mouse button over the object to highlight it and use the mouse to reposition the object in a new location. All relationships between objects on the map will be maintained when an object is moved. Similarly, you can highlight several objects at the same time and move them to a new location. Multiple objects can be selected using a variety of methods including:
| • | Click on several objects while holding down the shift key. |
| • | Click on a blank section of the Map Window and hold down while dragging the mouse. |
| • | Use the Select option from the Edit menu to select the appropriate type of nodes. |
| • | Select a single map object then use the Select>Same Icon menu item from the Edit menu to highlight all network objects with the same icon as the selected object. |
Once multiple objects are selected, they can be moved by clicking again on any of the highlighted objects in the group and moving them with the mouse to a new location. Use Undo and Redo to revert node positions.
LANsurveyor also has features to align map objects in relation to one another. Select two or more map objects, then select Align Left or Align Top from the Tools menu. Selecting Align Left will cause LANsurveyor to move all selected map objects horizontally so that their left edges line up with the left edge of the leftmost object. Selecting Align Top will cause LANsurveyor to move all selected map objects vertically so that their top edges line up with the top edge of the topmost object.
If you would like to reset the location of all the nodes on the map back to their original location, use the Map Properties dialog box, pick a different map type, and LANsurveyor will reset the icon locations or simply click between map levels.
