Moving with the Fulcrum Tool Guide

The Fulcrum tool guide fixes a point, edge, or face in 3D space. Then selected objects are moved relative to the fulcrum object. You can use this tool guide to pivot patterns or faces, or to create a simple exploded assembly.

  1. Click Move in the Edit group.

  2. Select the objects you want to move. You can select surfaces, solids, or components in the Design tree, or select point(s), edge(s), or face(s) in the design window.

    This object will be highlighted. Selected components will be highlighted with a bounding box.

  3. Click the Fulcrum tool guide on the side of the Design window.

  4. Select the object you want to use as the fulcrum. You can select surfaces, solids, or components in the model tree, or a point, edge, or face in the design window.

    This object will be highlighted in blue.

  5. Drag an arrow or radius on the Move handle to move the object(s).

    Selected objects will move proportionally, relative to the fulcrum.
