Selecting Geometric Entities for Moving
Consider the following points for selecting geometric entities or parts for the move operation in part and assembly modes:
You can select a part either from the graphics window or the Model Tree.
You can select bodies, quilts, or one or more surfaces of bodies and quilts to move the selected surface in the direction reference.
In assembly mode, you can select geometry and components simultaneously or one at a time by setting a suitable selection filter and then holding down the CTRL key for selection.
You can select geometric entities and components simultaneously by setting the selection filter to All and drawing a rectangular bounding box to select the entities. If you select all the solid surfaces of a part, the selection is updated to be the part that the surfaces belong to. If you select all the parts of a subassembly, the selection is updated to be the subassembly that the parts belong to.
You can remove a geometric entity or a component from the selection set by holding down the CTRL key and selecting the entity from the list.
If you select a component (part or subassembly) for moving from a subassembly, the component is moved in the context of that subassembly. Any other occurrence of that subassembly in the top-level assembly shows the same movement for that component.
