Ribbon UI Menu:

Moves a group of nodes of one or more objects by defining a movement vector. You can select multiple objects by using shift key.

Local menu options:

Multiple: If this option is selected the stretch tool will continue to operate until you press ESC or select another tool. Multiple options appears in LTE workspace in local menu and inspector bar for power stretch. In default workspace, objects can be selected using shift key.

Displacement: It appears only after choosing "Finish" for selection operation. If this option is selected the node or object will be displaced by the UCS X and Y value of the point you select. For example if you click on the coordinate X= -10 and Y= 5 the displacement will be -10 in the X axis and 5 in the Y axis. Displacement option for power stretch activates in LTE workspace only.
