Copy and Offset Features, Move Features

These two dialog boxes allow user to:

•Copy a selected feature/polygon and offset the copy by a given distance in a given direction. If more than one feature is selected, all selected features will be copied and moved, or

•Move a selected feature/polygon by a given distance in a given direction. If more than one feature is selected, all selected features will be moved.

Since these two operations are very similar the corresponding two windows will be described together.
