Sheet Metal Move Tool

  • The tools in the Sheet Metal tab recognize junctions, bends, bend reliefs, and forms first, then edges and points when you scroll the mouse wheel to select the underlying entities.
  • You can select a form with one click and move or rotate the form using the Sheet Metal Move tool. The 2D Move handle is displayed for a form, and it is lined up with the frame of the form.
  • Your selection is automatically converted from faces to junctions, bend reliefs, or forms when you switch to the Sheet Metal tab and the Pull, Select, or Move tool is active. The selection is converted back to faces when you switch to a different tab.
  • Only the tool guides and options that are appropriate for sheet metal are displayed.
  • The side of the wall you select determines how a bend changes when you rotate a wall. See Rotating sheet metal walls. When you move a wall, any associated sheet metal objects associated with that wall, such as junctions, edges, reliefs, corner reliefs, and bends, also move with the wall.

Shortcut keys work for all of the tools on both tabs. For example, you can press M to activate the Move tool from either the Design tab or the Sheet Metal tab.

Faces which have beads can be moved with the Move tool.
