Move features

You can move features in the map. This can be useful when you want to put features together, like a mainland and outlying islands.

Keys. Select the map key containing the feature labels that will help you identify the features you want to move.

Features. Click the feature that you want to move. Note that the feature will be selected in the map preview. You can also click the feature directly in the map preview.

X/Y. These text boxes list the current center point of the feature on the map. The units are displayed in the map's coordinates. These may be local, Cartesian coordinates (for example, the State Plane Coordinate System) or geographic coordinates (where X is longitude and Y is latitude). Enter coordinates for the new position of the feature. You can also click and drag a feature on the map to move it. The text boxes will update with the new position.
