[Valid for](../../../../Shared/FeatureAvailability.md): CANoe DE • CANoe4SW DE

## Function Syntax

```plaintext theme={null}
long Iso11783IL_OPChangeChildLocation( dword parentID, dword objectID, long dx, long dy ); // form 1
long Iso11783IL_OPChangeChildLocation( dbNode implement, dword parentID, dword objectID, long dx, long dy ); // form 2
```

## Description

The function moves an object. The object is moved relative inside the parent object. A **Change Child Location** command is sent to the Virtual Terminal.
