If the free attachment mode was selected, defining the origin point will be the first step of moving/copying.
Target point is the point defining the target position of the objects after the transformation. This can be the
end point of a translation, the end point of a linear array (defining its length and step), or the center of the
circular array. The target point of the transformation is always defined by specifying its position by mouse
clicking , in the property window, or by selecting a 2D node (the option ).
Option for selecting action after the current transformation
You can select a desired action upon completing the transformation from the enclosed list of the option :
Edited Command automatically when finished
Repeat Command for selected elements
Repeat Command for created elements (available for
copying only)
Repeat Command for selected and created elements
(available for copying only)
Select new elements when finished
The selected option defines the system action upon completing the original transformation:
- the system automatically exits the move/copy command.
, , - upon the completion of the first transformation, the command instantly activates the mode
of defining a new transformation. This will be indicated by a new set of objects for transformation,
rubberbanding with the pointer, and the respective prompts displayed in the status bar (such as, “Set
destination point for Move”). Depending on the selected option, the new set of objects for moving/copying
will include either the original objects of the first transformation, or the objects created as a result of the
first transformation, or else all of the above.
- upon the completion of the first transformation, the command switches to the mode of selecting objects
(see the section “Calling the command from menu”).
Common Options of Moving Commands
The moving commands include the translation “TM: Translate”, rotation “TT: Rotate”, scaling “TA:
Scale” and symmetry “TS: Symmetry”.
Options for selecting moving mode
When executing any moving command (translation, rotation, scaling or symmetry), you can set various
modes of executing these transformations. The mode selection is done in all cases by one of the automenu
options in the list:
Change dependent elements
Change related elements
Change selected elements
