Why can't you slide components?

Hi,

I am using 16.6 and can easily slide vias, clines, etc. but not components. Sure it might cause some issues but if it a simple 2 pin component or even a DFN/QFN component with hug only turned on it wont screw everything up. Am I missing something or is this just not possible?

Thanks,

Aric

Thanks for the reply. I do understand it is for copper connections but why isn't it extended into components as well? When moving a component the connections stay where they are which is a pain if you want to move it say 500 mils... then you have to redo every single connection rather than just sliding the component (with hug only) then sliding all the clines.
