copy or move command

[jimp178]

When I try to either move an object using a relative distance ,
lets say a line it is ok if I want ot move it 2.5 unit but below that nothing happens. is it something in my settings?
Iam sure it will be a simple explanation but it has got me.

Thanks in advance

Hi Jimp178,

Ortho needs to be on (If the move is at right angles)...type in M and hit enter, pick the line to be moved...asks for base point...pick anywhere near the line to be moved...drag in the direction you want the line to go then type in 2.5 then hit enter...

Hope this helps...

Thanks gskiver ( Iam sure your not?) I can carry out that command with 2.5 units but when I try it with a smaller number
example type in 1.5 then hit enter it does nothing.

Note:
type in M and hit enter, pick the line to be moved...asks for base point...pick anywhere near the line to be moved...drag in the direction you want the line to go then type in 2.5 then hit enter...
Thanks for you quick reply Jim

Hi Jim,

Sorry didn't read your question right... can you get the MOVE command to work right if you type in .MOVE
(notice the period in front of the MOVE)

Hmmmm ....
Sounds like you snaps (and/ or) grid are on ...
OR your snap (and/ or) grid might be set to 2.5 or better.
.
.
This might cause nothing to move below that number.
Look at that ...

Thanks for all your help closed "Osnap", by pressing F3 and that worked.
