About Advanced Dragging Options
You can expand the Drag dialog box to display additional options by clicking the arrow on Advanced Drag Options:
• Click
to open the
Move dialog box to perform a package move.
• Click
to specify the current coordinate system for advanced dragging operations. Select a coordinate system by choosing the body whose default coordinate system is the one you want to use. X, Y, or Z translation or rotation will be in this coordinate system.
• To specify X, Y, and Z translation, click one of the following icons to select a coordinate direction, then select a body on your model. Your selection reduces the movement of the body to the selected direction for dragging operations. Translation in other directions, as well as rotation of the body, is locked.
◦ Click
to specify translation in the X direction of the current coordinate system.
◦ Click
to specify translation in the Y direction of the current coordinate system.
◦ Click
to specify translation in the Z direction of the current coordinate system.
• To specify X, Y, and Z rotation, click one of the following icons to select a coordinate direction, then select a body on your model. Your selection reduces the movement of the body to rotation about the selected axis for drag operations.
◦ Click
to specify rotation around the X axis of the current coordinate system.
◦ Click
to specify rotation around the Y axis of the current coordinate system.
◦ Click
to specify rotation around the Z axis of the current coordinate system.
The dialog box also displays these options:
• Reference Coordinate System–Use the selector arrow to select a coordinate system in the model.
• Drag Point Location–Displays X, Y, and Z coordinates of the drag point in real time with respect to the selected coordinate system.
