Design Line: Move multiple nodes with NSTR Command
« on: Feb 14, 2020, 16:26:59 PM »
I've been using design line for the better part of 5 years and just found this command. What a life saver. Instead of holding shift+left click on each individual node, just type "NSTR" and select any group of nodes, right click, then move accordingly.

I made a quick video showing this process here: https://youtu.be/5OLEcTn2RvQ

Does anyone else use this or have any other commands from the list I've been missing out on?

Have been using this node stretch command for years. It truly is a life safer in some cases.

I have always used the OOTB STRETCH command. So does this only select designline nodes? And does the line need to be activated or can you grab as many as you like?

You can grab as many as you want (active or not active) and also 3d objects but they have to be selected prior to activating the command.

Either I'm doing it wrong or this is an ESTmep only command.

I believe NSTR is only in ESTmep
