To Move a Feature

  1. Select the Move Feature tool.
  2. Select the feature.
  3. Enter a data point to define the feature's new location.

    AccuDraw can be used to precisely locate the feature at its new location.

  4. Reset to finish.


    Left: Select the feature to be moved. | Right: As the pointer moves the feature over surfaces created prior to it on the solid (2, 3, and 4), it aligns automatically to the orientation of the surface.



    When copying a feature, with Selected Feature Only: Off (left) — the selected feature (1) plus any features applied to it are copied (2). | On (right) — the selected feature, a slab, (1) only is copied. Features applied to it, a taper and blends, are ignored (2).

    Note: To copy or move an entire solid model, use the Copy or Move tool in the Manipulate toolbox.
    Note: An alternative method for moving features is to first select them with the Element Selection tool and then use the move handle (see Using handles to modify solids/features interactively.)
