-----

• move elements:
• select object (it will be highlighted in model tree)
  click move tool (crossed arrows in menu bar above workspace)
  click (& release) to define first point ("move from"), move cursor, click to place
• alternatively: ...
• move/copy:
• select element
  click move tool
  position cursor and click to locate 'move/copy from' point
  be sure 'Copy' box is checked
  now locate 'move/copy to' point:
       easiest IMO is to check 'Relative' box and enter desired coordinates
• trim a line where another line crosses it:
• select the line to be trimmed
  select trim tool
  position cursor over the end you want to discard, press & hold shift
  (this has not always worked as I expected/intended)
  move cursor to the crossing line where your want the trim/cut to happen, click
  Note: However, this procedure needs correcting, because as written,
  the actual cut happens where the cursor is on the last click, not at the actual cutting line...
