The
Move/Copy tools help you manipulate selected entities, or the entire model, around a specific coordinate system. These tools are useful for creating multi-cavity or family parts.
Note: While the
Copy tool enables you to copy selected CAD components of an assembly, the
Move tool moves the entire assembly.
Topics in this section
Rotating a part
The Rotate tool enables you to change the orientation of entities to align with the coordinate system. Model orientation is important for creating an effective runner system and for calculating the clamp force.
Reflecting a part
The Reflect tool enables you to create a mirror version of a cavity that has already been modeled.
Translating a part
The Translate tool enables you to adjust the location of individual parts in a multi-cavity layout.
Scaling a part
Scaling a model to a different system of measurement changes the size of the model.
Query Entities tool
Use the Query Entities tool to locate an entity on the model, or to find the ID of an entity by clicking on it.
