In this section, we will use the Move Bodies command to position the toolbody accurately we imported.
The drop-down menu in the Move Bodies dialog box offers three methods for moving a body:
- Free drag (default) - Use to drag the selection in any direction or specify precise x,y,z values.
- Move along ray - Axial move only. Use to drag or specify a precise value along an axis.
- Rotate about line - Use to drag the selection or specify a precise angle around a central axis.
- View the part from the side to expose the toolbody.
- On the ribbon, click
3D Model tab
Modify panel
Move Bodies
. - Select the imported body as the body to move.
-
The body shows a 10 mm offset in the preview. Do not drag the preview.
- Input the following values:
- For X Offset, enter 35 mm.
- For Y Offset, enter 0 mm.
- For Z Offset, enter 0 mm.
- Select Click to add, and input the following values:
- For X Offset, enter 0 mm.
- For Y Offset, enter 24 mm.
- For Z Offset, enter 0 mm.
- Click OK to move the body and exit the command.
Note: Move Body appears in the browser as a feature, and the move was calculated as a single feature. Using Click to add consumes the least amount of resources as opposed to doing multiple moves as individual features. You can edit, delete, or suppress individual body moves.
