Moving objects

DRAINS components can be moved by clicking on them. When 'handles' appear, the object can be moved by dragging and dropping, as shown below (to the left).  The name of the object is moved with it.

   

You can also move a pit or node and all links connected to it, by holding down the shift key while dragging and dropping it, as shown above (to the right).  You will need to adjust the lengths and slopes of the links.

Names of objects can be moved by dragging and dropping them.
