You can use 3D CoPilotMeasure Relative to move a cylindrical hole in a cube relative to another cylindrical hole as shown below.
To move a cylindrical hole in a cube relative to another cylindrical hole,
1. Click Modeling and then, in the Modify 3D group, click the arrow next to Modify.
2. Click Move. The Move dialog box opens.
3. Select the cylindrical face of a hole that you want to move and select one of the edges (reference element) to get a well-defined direction for the 3D CoPilot. The 3D CoPilot appears on the selected edge.
4. Drag the 3D CoPilot arrow. The dimension shows two anchor points. The red cone (anchor point) is a fixed reference point. The green cone (anchor point) is a reference point that moves with the 3D CoPilot.
5. Click the red anchor to activate Measure Relative From and select the second hole to fix the red anchor. The visual feedback shows the distance between the second hole and the origin of the 3D CoPilot as shown in the image below.
You can also:
• Drag the CoPilot and press R to activate Measure Relative From or press T to activate Measure Relative To.
• Drag the 3D CoPilot, press SPACEBAR, click on the Option Mini Toolbar (OMT), and select Measure Relative From or Measure Relative To.
6. Click the green anchor to activate Measure Relative To and select the first hole to fix the green anchor. The visual feedback shows the distance between the second hole and the dragged position of the first hole as shown in the image below.
7. Drag the 3D CoPilot to move the first hole relative to the second hole. The visual feedback now shows distance between the current (dragged) position of the first hole and the second hole as shown in the image below. You can also type a distance to fix the final position of the first hole.
