  • How to move an object so that one face of the object snaps to another object's face?

    Hi guys, Coming from SpaceClaim realm, I am so used to the "Up To" feature, where I move the "triade"'s center to a face of the to-be-moved object, then I hit the "Up To" button, then click on the "triade's" arrow corresponding to the axis I want to constrain the movement to and then I click the destination face and the…

  • How do I move an object to a specific coord

    Total newbie here. I noticed that with transform when you select xyz you can only select a distance from the old object. Is there any way to select coords? Like to move to the origin you select 0,0,0

  • How to Move a Sketch?

    I've sketched a rectangle (by center) on the top plane. I would like to move it horizontally and vertically by some discrete values. I have two challenges:* Firstly, when I try to select the rectangle, only one edge is highlighted. Shouldn't the entire rectangle be selected if I have chosen Rectangle as the Sketch option?…

    Extended version of the question: Can a Part instance be cut/copy-pasted from the Part Studio instance where it was created to another Part Studio instance, including the corresponding feature tree items? Assume that the other (receiving) Part Studio instance already contains a populated feature tree that needs to be…

  • How do I move an imported, iges part that is near the edge of the viewing area?

    I have imported an iges file that I need to share with a manager who does not have a CAD system. The imported part came in at the top edge of the viewing area and I cannot zoom in on it. I need to move it to the center. 

  • Extrude-Remove-Offset from Surface to retain wall thickness?

    Maybe this will come in handy and maybe there are various ways to achieve this. I want to Extrude-Remove a feature that stays a value (eg wall thickness) away from a surface. That way if the height of the part changes I don't have to modify the "cuts". Plus the surface matches the "curve"/"angle" of the offset from…

  • How can I create a sketch plane from below or above a plane .

    I want to use a plane that no plane or surface exist yet. Is it possible to move a surface downward or upward direction (ie paralel to its normal vectors) ? I think this would suffice
