How to drag / move multiple points in sketch?

[DerBarde]

Dear Community,

first of all -> Hello and thank you for all the efforts concerning this great software.

I'm slowly getting used to FreeCAD but what i truly do not understand is how to move multiple points in Sketch mode. Or is there a better way than sketching?

Hi!
There is no direct way of moving multiple points in sketcher (it was asked before, but no one bothered to implement it AFAIK). However, there are a few hacks.
1. Moving a line is equivalent to dragging its endpoints simultaneously
2. you can set up temporary constraints to drag the wanted points together. Convoluted, but can help in some situations.
3. Try cloning the whole geometry. The cloning interface allows you to put the result where you need.

FreeCAD 0.19 has a move operator for sketch objects already.
