The Draft_Move command can be started without a pre-selection (the same applies to some, but not all, other Draft modify commands BTW). But post-selection has some restrictions for this command:
You can only select from the 3D view.
Selecting more than one object is tricky, you must use Std_BoxSelection and then click one of the objects to 'confirm'.
You cannot select subelements.
Post-selection for the Draft_OrthoArray command works differently. Here you can select from the Tree view and the 3D view. But selecting from the 3D view is tricky as you can finish the command with a click in the 3D view (which is a bit strange BTW).
This makes me question this post-selection feature.

Re: Post-selection: issues
freecad seems to work best if you work with preselection in the parts tree, also in other wb s
Re: Post-selection: issues
FreeCAD is too complex for such generalizations. Many commands rely on the selection of subelements.
Also: let's use correct names: parts tree -> Tree view.
