Description

The Std TransformManip command allows you to apply rotation increments and translation increments to an object.

Usage

1. Select an object with a DataPlacement property. See Notes.
2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Select the Edit → Transform option from the menu.
   • Select the Transform option from the Tree view context menu.
   • If edit mode is set to Transform you can also double-click the object in the Tree view.
3. The Increments task panel opens.
4. Optionally adjust the increments parameters.
5. Do one or more of the following:
   • Press and hold the left mouse button on an axis arrow and drag to translate the object along that axis.
   • Press and hold the left mouse button on a plane and drag to translate the object along that plane.
   • Press and hold the left mouse button on a sphere and drag to rotate the object around that axis.
6. Do one of the following:
   • Press the OK button to confirm and finish the command.
   • Press the Cancel button to revert the applied transformations and finish the command. introduced in version 1.0

Notes

• As soon as you rotate/move the object in the 3D view, changes are applied.
• Some objects with a DataPlacement property, such as sketches, cannot be manipulated, neither can objects that are attached to other objects.
• There is no Cancel button in version 0.21 and below, in those versions you can press the OK button and use the Undo command to revert changes afterwards.
