Drag and Drop with more options in AutoCAD 2000

 

A nice improvement in AutoCAD 2000 is the ability to drag and drop items on the screen with the mouse. To perform a basic drag and drop, simply select an object with the left mouse button (with no commands running), then click and hold the left mouse button on the selected object. Now you can drag the object around the drawing window. When you release the left mouse button, the object is placed there. However, there's an easier way to obtain additional options when performing a drag and drop move. After you've selected your object, click and hold the right mouse button, then drag the object to a new location. When you release the button, a menu displays. From this menu, you can move the object to the new location, copy it to the new location, paste it as a block in the new location, or cancel the move. This provides you with an easy way to manipulate AutoCAD 2000 objects with just the mouse.
