Transform dialog

The Transform dialog enables you to move, rotate, scale, reflect or copy objects:

To display the Transform dialog, select the object you want to transform and select Home tab > Select & Edit panel > Transform.

You can transform geometry, curves, features, surfaces, or solids.

Note: Features cannot be transformed using the Scale or To UCS methods.

To use the Transform dialog:

1. Select the transform method:
   • Translate — Move selected objects to a new location. You can move an absolute distance as specified in XYZ vectors, or you can move from point to point.
   • Rotate — Rotate selected objects by a specified angle about a point and axis.
   • Scale — Scale the selected objects about a point, either uniformly, or along individual axes. This option is unavailable for features.
   • Reflect — Mirror the selected objects about a line. The line can be an existing axis, or any other line.
   • To UCS — Transform the selected object from the current UCS into a second UCS. Select either Same Z or Oppose Z to control the orientation of the Z axis of your object. This option is not available for features.
2. Select Move to move the object to the new position, or select Copy to the keep the original object and create a copy of it in the new position.
3. If you selected Copy, the Copies field is displayed. Enter the number of copies of the object you want to create.

   If you selected Copy and parametric modeling is enabled, the Keep link to object option is displayed. Select this option to link the new object to the original, so that changes to one object affect the other object.

To translate features, see Paste special.
