Transform

1. Click .

   

2. Select a part (and its Mate connector or axis, if desired) to move.
3. Select the method of moving the part (transform type):
   • Translate by line - Move the part along a selected line: such as a part edge.
   • Translate by distance - Move the part by a specified value and in a direction indicated by the selection of an entity or mate connector.
   • Translate by XYZ - Move the part along an axis by a specified value. Optionally, use the drag manipulator that appears to position the part along axis.
   • Transform by Mate connectors - Specify two Mate connectors (inferred or existing), or axis, by which to reorient the placement of the part. Use the directional arrows to flip the orientation:

     

   • Rotate - Move the part about an axis or Mate connector (inferred or existing) specified by selecting an entity.
   • Copy in place - Make a copy of the part at the same location; this creates a separate and independent part enabling you to:
     • Make changes to one part and use both to create different parts during a later operation.
     • Make a copy of a part prior to a series of operations enabling you to reference the original state for ancillary operations.
     • Create multiple copies of a part in order to create multiple variants.

     If you need to create multiple copies of a part at once, use the Pattern feature with a distance of 0 (zero).

   • Scale - Scale a part by a specific factor and select a point to scale about; selecting Scale presents a Scale Uniformly checkbox. Uncheck this box to specify your own scale for X, Y, and Z axes, and also select a point or Mate connector (inferred or existing) to scale about. Using a Mate connector (inferred or existing), or axis, to scale about changes the coordinate system to be relative to the Mate connector or axis.
   • Optionally, select Copy part to duplicate the part.

1. Tap Transform.

   

   

2. Select entities to transform or copy.
3. Select the Transform type (method of moving the entities):
   • Translate by line - Select an entity (such as a part edge)
   • Translate by distance - Select an entity to indicate direction and specify a value, OR use the drag manipulator that appears.
   • Translate by XYZ - Specify axis values to move along, OR use the drag manipulator that appears to position the part along the axis
   • Transform by mate connectors - Specify two mate connectors by which to reorient the placement of the part.
     • Flip the primary axis, Z orientation of the instances.
     • Reorient the secondary axis; rotate the quadrant orientation (in the XY plane) by 90 degrees at a tap.
   • Rotate - Move the part about an axis specified by selecting an entity and specify the angle, OR use the drag manipulator that appears.
   • Copy in place - Make a copy of the part at the same location; this creates a separate and independent part enabling you to:

     - Make changes to one part and use both to create different bodies during a later operation.

     - Make a copy of a part prior to a series of operations enabling you to reference the original state for ancillary operations.

     - Create multiple copies of a part in order to create multiple variants.

   Tip: If you need to create multiple copies of a part at once, use the Pattern feature with a distance of 0 (zero).

   • Scale uniformly - Scale a part by a specific factor and select a point to scale about; optionally copy the part.
4. Optionally, toggle to switch to the opposite direction.
5. Select lines or points.
6. Optionally, toggle to copy part.
7. Tap checkmark.

The part is translated by the sketch line above it, to a new location across the Right plane:

The part is translated by distance. Specifically, it is translated 3.1215 inches from its original position. With Translate by distance, you can only translate in one direction at a time:

The part is translated from its original position in several directions at once:

Two parts are transformed to share the same Mate connector location:

The part is rotated 45 degrees from its original position:

Use copy in place to copy one or multiple parts in their exact location.

The part is scaled at 1.5 times its original size:
