Transform Section

The Transform section of the action bar provides commands for transforming and duplicating the geometry.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Rectangular Pattern
Flyout for Translation
Flyout for Constraint Defined in a Dialog Box


	Rectangular pattern Creates multiple instances of a object, in a rectangular pattern. Select the object to be replicated. Select the direction and enter the parameters such as instance(s), length, and spacing, to configure the pattern. See Flyout for Rectangular Pattern.
	Mirror Mirrors a body or a list of features using symmetry of a face or a plane. See Creating Mirror Features.
	Translation Translates a body along a vector. Select the body to be translated. Enter the distance and the direction to define the translation vector. See Flyout for Translation.
	AxisToAxis Transforms an element from one axis to another See Generative Shape Design User's Guide: Performing Operations on Shape Geometry: Transforming Geometry: Transforming Elements from an Axis to Another.
	Scaling Resizes the geometry to the specified dimensions. Select the body to be scaled. Select a reference element located on the body. Enter the scaling ratio. See Creating Scalings.
	Affinity Translates the body according to the ratio values of the co-ordinates. Select the origin, XY plane and the X axis for the new axis system. Enter the X, Y and Z ratios. See Transforming Geometry by Affinity.
	Split Splits a body using a plane, face or surface. See Creating Splits.
	Constraint Defined in a Dialog Box Sets constraints See Flyout for Constraint Defined in a Dialog Box.

Flyout for Rectangular Pattern


	Rectangular pattern Creates multiple instances of a object, in a rectangular pattern. Select the object to be replicated. Select the direction and enter the parameters such as instance(s), length, and spacing, to configure the pattern. See Creating Rectangular Patterns.
	Circular Pattern Creates multiple instances of an object, in a circular pattern. Select the object to be replicated. Enter the parameters such as instance(s), total angle, and angular spacing, to configure the pattern. See Creating Circular Patterns.
	User Pattern Creates multiple instances of a feature, at specified positions. See Creating User Patterns.

Flyout for Translation


	Translation Translates a body along a vector. Select the body to be translated. Enter the distance and the direction to define the translation vector. See Creating Translations.
	Rotation Rotates the geometry about an axis. Select the rotation axis and enter the angle. See Creating Rotations.
	Symmetry Transforms a geometry symmetrically about a reference. Select a point, a line or a plane as the reference element. See Creating Symmetries.

Flyout for Constraint Defined in a Dialog Box


	Constraint Defined in a Dialog Box Sets constraints See Setting Constraints Defined in Dialog Box.
	Constraint Creates a constraint See Setting 3D Constraints.
