Using the Reference Tools to Manipulate References

Reference tools let you manipulate references directly. You can use these tools whether or not the Treat Attachment as Element for Manipulation setting is enabled.

Every reference manipulation tool can contain any or all of the following tool settings.

  • If Move Boundary with Reference is on, then any clip boundaries/masks are manipulated with the reference. If this setting is off, then the reference is manipulated, while the clip boundaries/masks remain static.
  • If Use Reference Dialog List is turned on, the manipulation works on the models selected in the References dialog.
  • If a fence exists and Use Fence is turned on, any models that are in the fence are manipulated. If a selection set has been created, manipulation works on the models in that set.
