Introduction
There are quite a number of editing tools available in WinCan Map for manually moving lines, polygons and points which can be combined with other features like the snapping tool already described in Snapping Objects in WinCan Map.
...
Throughout this page, terms like Tools/Edit - Move Point or Home/Select - Point will be used. The naming convention being used here is Ribbon/Panel - Button so this tells you which ribbon, which button panel and which button name is being referred to at all times.

Home/WinCan - Shift
This tool allows the user to drag a point across the screen to a new location:
...
Select the layer of the point that you wish to move.
Use the ‘Point’ tool in the ‘Home/Select’ ribbon to select the point that needs to be moved.
If required (usually), select a snapping layer for the object that you wish to snap to and a snapping style of point or line.
Click on the ‘Shift’ tool and select the object and while holding down the left mouse button drag the point to the new location. As you drag it you will see some red markers on screen which show you where you are moving from and where the object will drop when the left mouse button is released.
Release the left mouse button to re-plot the object as required.
...
Tools/Edit - Edit Shape
The ‘Edit Shape’ tool allows a linear or polygon shape to be modified into any new shape as required. This can be useful for functions like:
...
Using the Shift, Edit Shape and Reset Transformation tools.
