Moving multiple windows at once

[msclark]

It does not seem that there is a way to move multiple windows at once or even select multiple windows to perform any other operation to them. I have resorted to moving the whole wall at times then rejoining the corners - does anyone know of a better way to do this?

One way is to group each individual window before placing onto a wall that way it does not cut & bond with the wall. Then after you've moved em all round and found their final placements...

ungroup the suckers ... if you're lucky they should snap into place within the walls.

One of the ways we like to teach users in our courses is as follows:

- select the wall or walls (or even simpler, choose Select All)

- select the 2D Reshape Tool, and with the Move Polygons Handles mode, marquee the windows you want to move.

- use the Move command to move all windows a specified distance OR,

- use the mouse to drag the marqueed objects, snapping to a relevant point

Note that anything inside the marquee moves, including dimensions, so if your plan is already dimensioned, get them in the marquee too and save the work of another move.

thanks G McBeath, that was exactly what I was looking for!
