Operation Instructions

1. In an editable layer, select the geometry to be moved.

3. The mouse prompt will appear: "Please specify the base point coordinates." Click the mouse at an appropriate position on the map or enter coordinate values to determine the base point coordinates for the move.

Move the mouse on the map, and the map will display a real-time preview of the moved object (shown with a dashed line). Click the mouse at a suitable position, or enter the length to move the object's center point and its angle relative to the positive X-axis in the parameter input box and press Enter. The selected object will then move to the new position based on the specified distance and direction.
