This page describes the syntax and how to use the move command.

To go to the move command, press Move on the console.

## Description

With the move command you can move objects e.g.:

- Groups to another position in the [groups pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_group/)
- Presets to another position in the [presets pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_preset/)
- Executors to another position in the [executor pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_executorpool/) or to another [page pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_page/)

## Syntax

1\. Move a group to another position.

Move Group 1 At 3

2\. Move a preset to another position.

Move Preset 1 At 3

3\. Move an executor to another position on the same page.

Move Executor 1 At 3

4\. Move an executor to another position on another page.

Move Executor 1.1 At 2.1

5\. Move the main executor to executor six at page 1.

Move Executor 0.1.1 at 1.6

## Example 1

Let´s assume, you will move group 50 at 1.

There are two ways to do this.

a) Press Move Group 50 At 1 Please.

b) Press Move, tap on group 50 in the [groups pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_group/), and then tap at object tile 1.

Group 50 is moved and is now group 1.

## Example 2

Let´s assume, you will move color preset type 2 at 5.

**Hint:**\
If you move a preset type what is used in a cue, the assignment in the cue will redirect automatically to the new preset type number.

1\. Open the [color presets pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_preset/).

There are two ways to do this.

a) Press Move Preset 2 At 5 Please.

b) Press Move, tap on color preset 2 in the color presets pool, and then tap at object tile 5.

Color preset 2 is moved and is now color preset 5.

## Example 3

Let´s assume, you will move the executor from position 1 at position 6.

There are three ways to do this:

a) Press Move Exec 1 At 6 Please.

b) Press Move, tap on executor 1 in the [executor pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_executorpool/) and then tap on executor 6.

c) Press Move, press executor button 1 ![go](/img/dot2/go_1-db7d7b.png) on the console and then press executor button 6 ![go](/img/dot2/go_1-db7d7b.png) at the console.

The executor is moved from position 1 at position 6.

## Example 4

Let´s assume, you will move executor 1 from page 1 at page 2.

There are three ways to do this:

a) Press Move Exec 1 (=Page 1) . 1 (=Executor 1) At Exec 2 (=Page 2) . 1 (=Executor 1) Please.

b) Press Move, tap on executor 1 at page 1 in the [executor pool](/dot2/key_viewitem_executorpool/) and tap on executor 1 at page 2.

c) Press Move, tap on executor 1 at page 1 in the [executor bar view](/dot2/key_widget_executorlabelbar/) and tap on executor 1 at page 2.

Executor 1 is moved from page 1 at page 2.

## Example 5

Let´s assume, you will move the main executor to executor 6 on page 1.

There are three ways to do this:

a) Press Move and then one of the large main executor buttons, e.g. the large Pause and then press executor button 6 ![go](/img/dot2/go_1-db7d7b.png).

b) Press Move Exec 0 . 1 . 1 (= Main Executor] At Exec 1 (=Page 1) . 6 (=Executor 6) Please.
