### Rearranging patterns by dragging them

#### Overview

You can select one or more nodes on the canvas and drag them to a new location. Each node's connections are retained and move along with it. However, the layout of the route will continue to change as it grows in scope and complexity.

#### Procedure

To drag a node to a new location on the canvas:

1. Determine which node or nodes you want to move.

2. Select one node, or select a group of nodes by dragging a box around them.

3. Drag the node or nodes to their new location, then release the mouse button.

| Note
You can also rearrange the connectors between nodes to accommodate increasing numbers of patterns on the canvas. Clicking a connector joining two nodes on the canvas reveals a line segmented by a bendpoint. You can drag the bendpoint to another location on the canvas while leaving the two nodes in place. Dragging a bendpoint creates two new bendpoints on either side of it, further segmenting the connector. This feature makes it easy to organize the nodes in a complex route for visual clarity.
