There are two methods of defining a translation vector.
- Copy
If enabled, a copy of the selected entities will be translated.
- Number of copies
Specify the number of copies.
- IncrementParts
To add the newly created copies of entities to a new part, click the IncrementParts icon. A window will open with the list of the parts of the selected entities. If a part is selected, the new entities will be placed in a new part named [old_part_name]_0. For multiple copies, each copy will be placed in a separate part, for example, GEOM_1, GEOM_2, GEOM_3, etc.
- Method
Choose an option to set translation direction and distance:
- Explicit
Type the offset distances of the translation for all three directions.
- Vector
Through 2 points
Select two existing points to set translation direction. The first point selected will represent the tail of the vector while the other will represent the head of the vector.
Distance
Specify the distance of the translation. If distance is not specified, the (default) translation distance will be the distance between the two selected points.
