Move+Rotate Part (3-D)

3-D Standard > Transform > Move > Move+Rotate

You use this function to move+rotate the active object simultaneously. The following functions are available:

Move+Rotate part

3-D Standard > Transform > Move > Move+Rotate

The active part is moved and rotated in one step.

1. Define the displacement vector by specifying two points.
2. Identify the rotation axis. The same options are available as for the Rotate 3-D part function.
3. Enter the rotation angle.

To move and rotate a part in one step, you can also use the ...via fitting points function. If you select this function, the transformation will be performed by specifying three fitting point pairs. The fitting points on the part are transformed to the drawing's corresponding fitting points.

The function is not available for clonings.

Move+Rotate part, via fitting points

3-D Standard > Transform > Move >... via fitting points

You use this function to move and rotate the active part simultaneously.

To do this specify 3 fitting point pairs, one after the other. The fitting points on the part are transformed to the drawing's corresponding fitting points, with the part retaining its original dimensions.

Internally, the following steps are performed in this function:

1. The 1st part (1,1') specifies the movement, i.e. point 1 is moved to point 1'.
2. The 2nd pair the part to be rotated about the normal through point 1'. This normal stands perpendicular on the surface defined by the three points 2', 1' and 2. The angle of rotation is specified by points 2'-1'-2.
3. The 3rd pair causes the part to be rotated about the rotation axis, which is defined by line 1'-2'. The angle results

• from the perpendicular of point 3 to line segment 1'-2' and
• the surface that is defined by the three points 1', 2' and 3'.

Examples

(1,1') determines the moving, (2,2') determines the rotation about the normal through 1', (3,3') determines the rotation about the rotation axis 1'2
