This command has now been superseded by the better AutoCAD command 3DWALK.

However, DMOVE is used to alter the original entered viewing position (after going into DEV), effectively moving the drivers viewing position in the 3D view.

It requires typing in a short code to describe the movement in terms of direction and distance and then will recalculate the new 3D view. The code is made up of a single letter for direction — F (forward), B (backwards), L (left) or R (right) and a number for the distance required (in metres), e.g. F5 or R6 or L10 etc. = forward 5 m, right 6 m or left 10 m, etc.

You may wish to move the driver through several steps until you get the required view of the road layout. The command therefore allows further entry of the movement codes until a final finishes the command.

It is possible that you will need to move the target point (with Turn View below) to prevent leap-frogging over the view target and causing the view to turn around or even look straight down.
