"Nudging Elements - ...a great way to push things around quickly. When an element is selected, you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the element horizontally and vertically, repositioning it in small increments. Each press of an arrow key nudges the element a specific distance based on your current zoom factor. The closer you zoom, the finer the nudge is. Likewise, as you zoom out, the nudge moves elements by larger increments. This is a good tool when you’re working with views placed on sheets."
"Moving with nearby elements - Another way to move freestanding elements, but in a more automatic way... This tool is designed to capture logical relationships between elements. When furnishing a space for example, you probably want to align the bed or dresser with a wall. If you change your design, you want the furniture to follow the wall to the new location. For this purpose, select the furniture and then select Moves with Nearby Elements on the Options bar. By doing so, you create an invisible relationship between the bed and the wall so that each time you move the wall, the bed moves with it..."
(Not sure how to add this association to multiple selections, will have to figure that out.)
"Copy - ...nearly identical to the Move tool but makes a copy of the selected element at the location of the second pick. ...copies an instance of an element or selection of elements in the same view. If you change views while using this tool, your selection is dropped."
"...first choose the element or elements you want to copy, and then select the Copy tool from the Modify tab. Using the Options bar, you can choose to make multiple copies in one interaction by selecting the Multiple option."
