Im sure I don't even have the name right.  Its not really a "bumper". I am talking about one of those little rubber covered posts that simply help channel the ball a certain direction. They do not fire the ball off, they just sit there like a dead bumper post. Anyway, what I want to do is just move it a tiny bit to the right on an already existing table.  The problem is the thing had a ton of pieces. It seems if I grab it I can only move one part of it. I would have to move it piece by piece. Is there a way to just grab multiple items and move them all at once?  I appreciate any advice you can give.

Drag a box around the post with the mouse and all objects in the post will be selecred. The right click on one of the selected objects to make sure they are unlocked. Then you can either drag the selection with the mouse or if you only need to move it a little bit you can use the arrow keys

encircle the entire thing using your mouse just click and hold down the button while dragging it

making a box around said items then the entire thing will move as one item

 they should be highlighted if all of them were in the box

then move as one piece anywhere you want on the table

as shown by these two pics the first one shows the objects in question being surrounded by the box from my mouse drag

 the second one shows them highlighted ready to be moved


ah ya' beat me to it UW

Thanks guys. Ill give it a shot. I think last time I tried this the piece must have been locked. Maybe that's why it did not work.
