This function allows you to move one or more vertices of an element and leave the rest unchanged, by selecting the entity or entities, and then enclosing the vertices to be moved using the polyline selection method. Indicate the point to move and then the point to move it to.
If the selection set is empty, you need to specify the selection set before you continue. When indicating the position of the polyline, indicate two points to define a rectangle about the point to stretch.
