Use this dialog to move one or more entities (including solids) from one position to another. You can translate stock and fixture entities.
If the entities have associated toolpaths, these are updated when you regenerate. However, user defined start and end positions will not be retained.
You cannot translate detailing entities, except for text entities created in the Top CPL.
On closing the dialog you are prompted to digitise the entities to translate, and any positioning points (for the <Digitise> settings below for example).
|
Copy |
Check to leave the original entities in place. Uncheck if you only want the translated versions. |
|
Dynamic |
Check to drag the entities with the mouse. If Copy is checked, you can translate the entities dynamically as many times as required. |
|
X, Y, Z |
The distance to move in the axial directions. Set to <Digitise> to digitise two points on closing the dialog, with the distance between them being the translation distance. |
|
Repeats |
The number of times to translate the entities. |
|
Layer |
The layer on which to place the transformed entities. |
