Translating Lines

	This task shows you how to translate a line. In this particular case, we will also duplicate the line to be translated.
	1. Select an element. For example, a line. 2. Click the Translate icon from the Geometry Modification toolbar (Transformations subtoolbar).


	The `Translation Definition` dialog box appears and the `Start Point` value fields (H and V) appear in the `Tools` toolbar. 3. The `Duplicate mode` option (`Translation Definition` dialog box) is activated, by default. If not, activate this mode.
	4. Enter the duplicated line `Start Point` coordinates in the Tools toolbar. For example, `H: 1.7in` and `V:0in`. 5. Press `Enter`. 6. Enter the duplicated line `End Point` coordinates in the Tools toolbar. For example, `H: 2in` and `V:0in`. OR
	5. Enter a length for the line in the `Value` field. For example, `0.3in`. The `Snap Mode` is automatically deactivated. 6. Click `OK` to validate. 7. Once you are satisfied with your operation, click on the view. The second line is created.
	This is the resulting translated line.
	A new line is created and translated according to the existing one. Proceed in the same manner to create the third, fourth, fifth and sixth lines. The process described above is valid for any other line to be created with the Translation command in our context.
	Select two lines at a time to perform your translation, it is time-saving.
	Your final drawing will look like this:
	You can also select the Translate icon first and then the geometry to be translated.
