Moving Components

Use Move Components from the action bar or from the context toolbar to move Components.

When started from the action bar, a dialog box proposes to specify options before moving the Components.

From the context toolbar, you must select the Components to move first. The move is started directly with the last selected options (No dialog box).

  1. Select the Components to move.
    Note: If you select several occurrences of the same instance, only one is selected.
  2. Specify which Component is moved:
    • Move first Component: The first Component under the UI Active Product is moved.
    • Move selected Component: The leaf element of the selection is moved, in our example, the selected Cap Screw.
  3. For multiselection, indicate how the Components are moved.
    • Move together: All the Components move together in the same direction.
    • Individual Move: The same transformation is applied to all Components, with respect to their own Hook.
  4. Click Start move components (Move Components when working from thecontext toolbar).

    The Robot is positioned on the last selected Component.

    • Drag the Component.
    • Use the rulers.
    • Select an edge or a face of the design context.
  5. Click an empty space to validate the move.
  6. Optional: Select a Component and a Component Specification.
    1. On the context toolbar, select Connect or Reconnect .
      The Component is connected with the Component Specification.
    Note: If you have selected a Component already connected with a Component Specification, and another Component Specification, the Component is now connected to the second Component Specification (The connection has been rerouted).
