Reposition components in a mockup

Use the Reposition command to move components to desired positions.

  1. On the Mockup 360 toolbar, click Reposition .
  2. In the graphic window, select a point, edge, axis, or face on a component to move.

    To simplify your selection, click Selection Filters, and specify geometry to select.

    A free move triad is attached to the selected geometry.

  3. To move or rotate the component, use the triad:
    • To change the initial position of the triad, click Adjust the Triad , place the triad to a new position, and click Done.
    • To move the component along a triad axis, drag the triad axis to the desired position. To specify a precise distance, enter the distance in the edit field.
    • To rotate the component, drag a rotational manipulator to the desired position. To specify a precise angle, enter the angle in the edit field.
    • To move the component along a triad plane, drag the triad plane to the desired position. To specify a precise position, enter the distances in the edit fields.
    • To move the component without restrictions, drag the triad sphere to the desired position. To specify a precise position, enter the distances in the edit fields.
    • Tip: To change units of measurement for distance and angle values, edit the application options.
  4. To snap the selected component to a reference component:
    • Click Select a Reference to Snap, and select a reference point, edge, axis, or face.
    • Click Flip to reverse snap direction.
  5. Finish the reposition:
    • To save the current position of components and exit the command, click OK.
    • To save the current position of components and continue repositioning, click Apply.
    • To cancel the previous reposition operation, click Undo.
    • To exit the command without saving the changes, click Cancel.
Tip: To lock the component in the current position, right-click the component in the browser, and click Ground. Grounded components are marked with a special icon in the browser. To unlock a grounded component, right-click the component, and click Unground.
