Move/Copy reference

In the Move/Copy dialog, you can move or copy components, bodies, faces, or sketch objects.

Design > Modify > Move

Move Object

Select the type of object to move or copy.

• Components
• Bodies
• Faces
• Sketch Objects

Selection

Select objects to move or copy.

Move Type

Select the type of move operation.

• Free Move: Displays a manipulator. Use the manipulator to move the object or enter values in the fields.

  Note: Free move is the most flexible but is not captured parametrically. There will be no recording in the parameters table of a free move.

• Translate: Lets you move the object laterally in the X, Y, and Z directions. Select a Direction setting to specify the coordinate system you want to move the object relative to. Then use X, Y, Z manipulators in the canvas to move to the desired position, or specify the values manually in the dialog.

  • Direction Lets you select direction.
    • Component XYZ Lets you select one component and move it according to its origin.
    • Design XYZ Lets you select multiple components and move them according to the design's origin.
    • Pick Direction Lets you select multiple components and move them according to an edge or axis.
  Note: If you set the Move Object to Components or Bodies, selection is limited to one component or bodies within a single component.

• Rotate: Lets you select the rotate axis, and specify the angle of rotation.

• Point to Point: Lets you select a point to move from and a point to move to.

• Point to Position: Lets you select a point on your model and move it to a certain position based on the design's coordinate space or a component's coordinate space.

Set Pivot

Specify the center point of rotation within the selected object. The triad orients to the X, Y, Z axes of the selection.

Direction

Specify the direction of the move - using the global coordinate system, from a certain point, or a component coordinates.

X, Y, Z Distance

Specify the distance to translate in the X, Y, or Z direction.

X, Y, Z Angle

Specify the angle to rotate around the X, Y, or Z axis.

Create Copy

Check the box to create a copy the selection and move it.
