To Move Geometry
1. Set the selection filter to Geometry.
2. Select the following geometry:
◦ Datum planes
◦ Datum points
◦ Datum axes
◦ Datum coordinate systems
◦ Datum curves
◦ Quilts, bodies, or surfaces
3. Perform any of the following actions:
◦ In the Model Tree or graphics window, click the geometry to move, and select
Move Geometry.
◦ Select the geometry, and click > to copy it onto the clipboard. Then click > .
◦ Select the geometry and press CTRL + C, and then press CTRL + SHIFT + V.
The Move (Copy) tab opens.
4. Click
Translate to translate the move item, or click
Rotate to rotate the move item.
5. Click the Reference collector, and select a direction reference:
◦ Datum axis
◦ Linear edge
◦ Plane or flat surface
◦ Straight curve
◦ Datum plane
◦ Axis of datum coordinate system
| When translating, the direction reference is perpendicular to the direction in which you want to move when you specify a plane or flat surface as the direction reference. If you select an edge, curve, or axis, the direction reference is parallel to the selected edge, curve, or axis. When rotating, the direction reference is usually an axis or straight edge about which the move item pivots. |
6. To define the move distance or angle, perform any of the following actions:
◦ In the graphics window, use the drag handle to manually translate/rotate the move item to the desired distance.
◦ On the Move tab, in the Offset box, type a distance or angle value in the value box.
7. If you want to create additional translation or rotation transformations, see
To Create Multiple Moves. Otherwise, click
OK to complete the move feature.
