Multiframe also allows you to move a group of joints together either by dragging with the mouse or by typing in a distance to move.

To move a group of joints with the mouse

§    Select the joints to be moved

§    Point to any of the selected joints and press the mouse button

§    Drag the joints to the new location

§    Release the mouse button

Multiframe will connect together any members that share a common end point after you have dragged the joints.  Holding down the shift key while dragging will constrain movement vertically, horizontally or to 45 degrees.  The coordinates of the pointer will be displayed in the bottom left hand corner of the window as you drag.  If you have turned on the Grid option, the joints will move in increments of the grid spacing as you move.

To move a group of joints numerically

§    Select the joints to be moved

§    Choose Move… from the Geometry menu

A dialog box will appear with fields for the distance you wish to move the joints in each direction.  The Selection radio button will be selected indicating that you wish to move the selected joints rather than the origin.

§    Enter the distance the joints are to be moved in each direction

§    Click on the OK button

Multiframe will create a connection between joints that you superimpose on top of each other using this command.  You can also move a single joint using this command.  Simply select one joint before using the command.
