This tool uses the Component Placement dialog (which is also used when placing a component using the Free Placement method) allowing you to define specific distances and rotation angles when relocating the component.

When using the Component Manipulator option to relocate a component, you must use the Component Placement dialog to define the distances, rotation etc. Trying to use the mouse to pick a new location will cancel the command.

The Use Local Coordinate System option allows you to use the original placement location of the component as the local origin point (0,0,0) and define the distances relative to that point.

The Rotation fields provide three different rotation orientations for the component. If you hover the mouse over the Rotation header an image displays providing a visual description of the different options.

Once you have defined the new location and rotation for the component, click OK to apply the changes.
