When a group of parts (ie a multiple selection) is moved or rotated on the plate, the parts will attempt to refit onto the plate individually (via Bump Nesting). This may result in some or all of the parts unnesting (turning red) and in some parts shifting slightly relative to their neighbors in order to fit into the nest.

 

Often it is required to move a group of parts 'en mass', so that the arrangement of parts within the group selection is preserved, and so that when they are dropped they move as a group, and not individually. The way to achieve this is to Cluster  the group of parts temporarily, move the cluster, and finally explode the cluster (if required).
