Drawing Calibration, When cloning a drawing, the ability to 'nudge' the drawing under the correct calibrations

When some drawings clone, they sometimes fall outside of the calibrations, the ability to 'nudge' the drawing back in line with the calibrations would save administrators hours of calibration time.

    YES! There have been so many times where the plan on the drawing is the same size but the new revision has moved slightly on the page, which means when replacing the drawing via replace or clone the new version cannot be used unless the calibrations are changed and sometimes the calibration can not be changed if there are tasks associated. 

    If tasks are associated and there are up to 5, this is still timely to fix but not too bad, any more and you're looking at a lot of admin time in having to move the tasks off the calibrated location, remove calibration, add new calibration, move tasks back. You can forget about doing this if any tasks associated to that location have been deleted. Then you're stuck and can't change the calibration. At this point you have two options: Contact viewpoint support for assistance. Or add a new drawing just because you have a new revision. Then you have two drawings showing the same info (one that's updated) and therefore end users will run the risk of duplicating tasks because there is not one version of the truth anymore.
