Quick Modification Tools – Relocate Component

This function is used to relocate components in an assembly (irrespective of the types of connection) without regenerating other parts. The function should be used instead of Edit Add in very large assemblies, when regeneration is very slow or not possible.

Note: Before using this function, it is recommended that you use Remove Pocket to remove the cut faces of components to be relocated, otherwise the current pockets will continue to be displayed after the components are relocated (as regeneration does not take place).

General Interaction

The following is the Feature Guide for Relocate Component.

Required Step 1 : Select components from the active assembly. Selecting a part from a sub-assembly, will select the whole sub-assembly.

Required Step 2 : Set the locating options.

Optional Step 1 : Pick a face so that the relocated component has a UCS to Face connection with the selected face.

Optional Step 2 : This option is only available if the XYZ Delta & Rotation option is selected in the 2nd required step. The delta offset parameters (in the 2nd required step) are based on the main assembly UCS. If this UCS is not appropriate for the relocating operation, pick another UCS to define the delta offset direction. The rotation parameters are always based on the active UCS of the relocated part.
