Move Component
Move is a command that manually controls the position of a selected component or group components. There are four different types of moves based on the selection that is made on the triad that shows up in the move command.
Movement Types:
- Directional - The component moves along the selected axis.
- Planar - The component moves along the selected plane.
- Rotational - The component rotates around the selected axis.
- Unconstrained - The component can be moved freely in any direction without any constraints.

Move tools menu
When the Move command is activated, it provides a tools menu. Using the options on the menu, you can:
Reorient a triad
Use Reorient Triad to adjust the position of the triad by aligning a triad component to a selected geometry.
Reset a triad
You can restore the triad to its original position using Reset Triad. The option is available after you reorient the triad.
Toggle triad
When you want to move two or more components along the same direction, you can do it in the global coordinate space. The object coordinate space is on by default when you activate the Move command for a component. To switch to the global coordinate space, click Toggle Triad on the Move menu. In the global coordinate space, the triad has a halo effect applied to all its components.
Snap a component to a selected geometry
Use Snap Component to snap a component to a selected edge or face.
Move component precisely
Use the Move Editor for precise movement. You can enter move values for X, Y, and Z. You also can define the precision and unit.
