Moving parts and connect lines at same time

Mattski

I am trying to move a fully routed section of my board to a new location.  I have the select filter turned off, highlight the entire section, and select Edit->Move.  This moves the part footprints and the vias, but the connect lines stay in the same location, and get disconnected from the nets, reverting to the Dummy Net.

 How can I move all of it at the same time so connectivity is preserved?

    I would turn on the select filter and have it set to Symbols, Vias, and Clines only.  Then select Edit-Move, right click and select Temp Group.  Select all the parts, clines, and via that you want to move.  Right click again and select Complete.  Position the curser where you want the origin-click and then move the group where you want and click to drop.  Works like a charm.

     Thanks for the quick reply!

     This solves my problem quite handily.  It isn't even necessary to do the temp group, just having all three selected at once it the filter does it.
