Move and Rotate the Entire Geometry of a Part

General

  • You can move and rotate a part so that the part and its origin (insertion point) will be in a desired position.
  • Moving and rotating a part is most often needed when a part has been imported from another system to get it in the right position for Vertex.
  • A part modeled in Vertex can also be moved and rotated.
  • The move of a part becomes its own feature in the history tree of the part, which can be edited later.

Move and rotate a part

  1. Start moving a part:
    • Select Part | Tools | Move or
    • Select Import | Tools | Move or
    • Select the symbol of the part in the feature tree and select the context-sensitive function Edit Model > Move the whole geometry of part.
  2. Fill in the data in the Move Geometry Dialog Box dialog box. Select the position of the part's origin with the Origin button and select the directions of the coordinate axes with the X-dir, Y-dir and Z-dir buttons.
  3. Select OK.
Note: The move will be a part of the part’s history so that you can later edit or delete it.
