Connections Break When Dragging Components

I don't understand how to move components or sections of a schematic without breaking many connections.  For an example see the images below. I want to move the circuit topped with VCC at the far right above the similar circuit next to it.  I select it and it becomes red as shown. ![Before Dragging.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/FE0rBkBGTWyecuIvs4OP5h5dJDVYfy1cIn5YmGF3.png) I drag it up and left.  Now the connection to the CPU board is broken.  I verified that it was a real connection to the CPU before the drag and after the drag the connection is electrically broken. ![After Dragging.png](//image.easyeda.com/pullimage/lbePxxSajgoSEHOHexf0e3XKFFdkHvYM54nVRkuO.png) This is just one small example but in general I find that when I drag components connections often break. How can one reliably rearrange things in a schematic? A related question is that sometimes I want to drag just a horizontal or vertical section of a wire path.  For example I might want to drag the the bottom horizontal green wire up/down without affecting any other part of the path.  When I select the horizontal wire of the path and drag it down, the entire path moves and breaks the connections at both ends. The only way to move the horizontal wire seems be to move the ends separately using the handles that appear when the path is selected. Is there a better way to do this?

hi when you select the component, you can keep left-click it and drag it, if you use the drag tool, the wire will break.

@UserSupport This works for components but if you left mouse-down-drag a wire the connections do break. I would like to be able to drag a vertical or horizontal segment of a wire path to move just that segment but not move the entire wire.  Is there a way to do this? Another problem I've noticed is that if a component with connections is rotated the wires do not remain connected to their pins.  Instead the wires reattach to whatever pin lands on them after the rotation.  Is there a way to rotate a component and keep the connections?

@chrisgr99 Also how do you move a section of a circuit, as in my example without breaking connections that extend out of that section of the circuit? Your solution of keep left-click it and drag only retains connections works if you move one component at a time.

We don't support this operation now.

Please note the difference  between **left-click and _right_-drag** or **left-click and _left_-drag** to select elements. [https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Introduction/Basic-Skill/index.html#Select-more-shapes](https://docs.easyeda.com/en/Introduction/Basic-Skill/index.html#Select-more-shapes) Then left-click on the selection to drag it. "Is there a way to rotate a component and keep the connections?" Not at present. Please consider raising this as a Feature Request.
