Can't seem to move ONLY ONE object

Anonymous · ‎02-23-2016

Hello, I'm new to autocad. I'm trying to follow some tutorials, but I can't seem to move things properly. If I want to move something and the object I'm selecting is touching anything else (even if that "anything" is not selected) everything gets moved. I made a video to quickly show you what I'm talking about. I also attached the file.

I only want to move that green rectangle, but everything it touches moves as well.

I tried looking for posts that talk about this, but I couldn't find anything. Thanks for any help!

Hi,
Can you attach the drawing itself instead of the video showing the issue?

Good idea. I just attached the file to my original post.

This is because you have Infer Constraints enabled on the Status Bar.

You need to turn this feature off:

Plus please verify that you have no unnecessary parametric constraints in the drawing (I see you have a lot of them).

If you don't need them use "Delete constraints" from Parametric menu to delete them (use All option when AutoCAD will ask to select objects to delete constraints).

Here is a screenshot of Status Bar with Infer Constraints enabled:

I put the infer constraints off and it still moves more than one object , I just switched to AutoCAD 2018, have been using 2011 for a while.

Hi Britney,

You also need to remove all existing constraints with DELCONSTRAINT command.
