# Translate An Object

There are three ways to translate an object: translate in the screen X direction only (X move), translate in the screen Y direction only (Y move) or just straight translation (XY move). In all cases, the complete object is translated so that the ``key point'' is positioned at the desired location. The translate command is used to enter a precise location (x,y,z) for the key point. Entering translate x y z will move the complete object so that the key point will be at coordinates (x,y,z).
