Move:

In the normal move mode, elements are moved in total. When you only want to move a single entity of an element, keep the ALT key in when moving. This applies when moving a single node of an area, block or polyline. It is also used when moving the start or end angle of a pivot.
While moving elements you may also press the page up or page down key to rotate the selected entities.
