Hi Phil

Holding down the Ctrl key while clicking, selects the clicked on object
without deselecting what is already selected.  This is the behaviour of
Ctrl that you want.
Holding down the Ctrl key while dragging selected objects changes the
operation from a move to a copy.

Solution: Use Ctrl to select the fields including the last field.  Without
letting go of the mouse button release the control and then move the
objects. (As long as Ctrl is not down when you let go of the mouse button,
it will be a move rather than a copy).

By the way you can also select a group of fields by dragging a rectangle
around them.  (i.e. click on a point above and to the left of the fields
you want to move, then drag your mouse to a point below and to the right
of the fields.  Let go and all contained fields will be selected).  Of
course this does not work if there are fields in that rectangle that you
do not want included in the selection.

Subject:        Code Designer PRTF


I'm editing a PRTF in Designer.  I am highlighting a
bunch of fields using the control key so I can move
them all at one time.  But, they're not moving -
they're copying.

Can someone help me out with this?

Thanks,

Phil
