◦ Datum axis
◦ Edge
◦ Plane or flat surface
◦ Straight curve
◦ Axis of datum coordinate system
| | You cannot select a plane or flat surface if you are rotating the selected item. |
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.
8. To move the selected item:
◦ In the graphics window, use the drag handle to manually translate/rotate the move item to the desired distance or angle.
◦ On the Move tab, in the Offset box, type a distance or angle value in the value box, or select a value from a list of the most recently used values.
