Move or rotate a component in a build volume

  1. Ensure that you have an additive setup with an additive machine selected.

  2. On the Manufacture workspace toolbar, click Additive > Position > Move Components move components icon.

    The Move Components dialog opens.

  3. By default, if the active setup contains only one component, that component is automatically selected. If the setup contains multiple components, on the canvas, select the components you want to work with.

    The manipulator shows on top of the component and the dialog updates to show additional parameters.

  4. Choose the Coordinate System to specify the direction in which the component is moved or rotated.

    Move or rotate in relation to the component's coordinate system or in relation to the additive machine's coordinate system.
