How to use MOVE & COPY Commands

Here is how to move and copy objects in AutoCAD

Use Move to move selected objects by a displacement.

AutoCAD prompts for a base point and a second point then calculates the required displacement automatically.
if you know the displacement you can enter it as X,Y at the first prompt & then press <enter> at the second point prompt.

Command: MOVE ↵
Select objects: (use selection tools)
Specify base point or displacement: (Base point)
Specify second point of displacement or <use first point as displacement>: (2nd point)
Command:

Use Copy to duplicate & move selected objects by a displacement.

the syntax of Copy resembles the syntax of Move.
AutoCAD prompts for a base point and a second point then calculates the required displacement automatically.
if you know the displacement you can enter it as X,Y at the first prompt & then press <enter> at the second point prompt.
you can also use the Multiple option to make multiple copies (without having to start over again to select objects).

Command:COPY ↵
Select objects: (use selection tools)
Specify base point or displacement, or [Multiple]: (Base point)
Specify second point of displacement or <use first point as displacement>: (2nd point)
Command:

PRACTICE USING MOVE & COPY TUTORIAL IN AUTOCAD

1) Open the T106_2.dwg drawing in your personal folder.

2) Left-click on the OSNAP status bar button (if it is Off).

3) Pick Tools + Inquiry + Distance. Hold your crosshairs over the CIRCLE near P1 to invoke a Center osnap and left-click to use this as the first point.

4) Hold your crosshairs over the ARC to invoke a Center osnap near P2 and left-click to use this as the second point and examine your command line history for the distance.

Command: ‘_dist Specify first point: Specify second point:
Distance = 8.0000, Angle in XY Plane = 0, Angle from XY Plane = 0
Delta X = 8.0000, Delta Y = 0.0000, Delta Z = 0.0000
Command:

5) Pick Modify + Move. Hold your pickbox near P1 such that there are no objects underneath and left-click to use that point. Then move your cursor near P2 and left-click to select the 12 CIRCLEs with an implied Crossing tool. Press <enter> to signal AutoCAD that you have selected all objects for this Move command.

You could have used a Window tool to select these objects instead of using a Crossing tool.

but to use an implied Window it may have been difficult to left-click on the first point & NOT select an ARC in the corner.

6) Hold your crosshairs over the CIRCLE near P3 to invoke a Center osnap and left-click to use this as the base point.
