Translocate

The process of translocating moves the selected object to the right and backwards by the distance specified.

To translocate an object:

• select the object

• from the Edit menu select Transform

• click on the Translocate tab

• enter the X and Y coordinates representing the amount of movement required

• click OK to complete the translocation

Rotation

Rotation moves the selected object in an arc about the work axes.

To rotate an object

• select the object

• from the Edit menu select Transform

• click on the Rotate tab

• enter the angle of rotation required

• click OK to complete the translocation

Scale

Scaling increases or decreases the size of the selected object. Scaling is performed in relation to the axes of the workplanes. A scaling factor of less than 1 decreases the size while a scaling factor greater than 1 increase the size.

To scale an object

• select the object

• from the Edit menu select Transform

• click on the Scale tab

• enter the Scale factor required (a number greater than zero)

• click OK to complete the translocation

NOTE if dimensional constraints have been applied to the object, scaling will not override the constraints - the object will move but not resize.
