Move Multiple

Move multiple cavities on a manifold simultaneously by entering the displacement along the common coordinate.
Cavities on the same or opposite faces can be moved along two coordinates and the cavities on perpendicular faces can be moved along one coordinate.

1.     MDTools 965 > Move > Move Multiple

The Move Multiple Cavities dialog box displays.

MDTools^® displays the coordinate symbol, indicating the direction of axes on the manifold origin.

2.     Click the Select button for Cavities.

3.     Select the cavities you want to move.

Text field to enter the change in the location displays on the dialog box.

4.     Enter the displacement along each available coordinate.

If you select cavities on perpendicular faces, MDTools displays only one field to enter displacement, as the cavities have only one common coordinate.

Move by Entering ∆X and ∆Y

Relocate the cavities by entering displacement.

MDTools moves the cavities by the ∆X and ∆Y values entered.

Move by Increment
Move cavities by an incremental distance (0.05 inches /1.00 mm).

Click the scroll bar button
After one click, MDTools moves the cavities by 0.05 inches/1 mm.
Click the right scroll bar button to move the cavities in the +ve X/Y direction.
Click the left scroll bar button to move the cavities in the -ve X/Y direction.

5.     Click OK.

MDTools relocates the cavities by the specified distance and the coordinate symbol disappears.

Note:

·       Cavities can only be moved along their common coordinates.

·       Cavities on three mutually perpendicular faces cannot be moved.
For example, top, left, and front.

·       The coordinate symbol is created on the default center point of the part drawing.

·       If a block is created using the Draw Block command, then the coordinate symbol displays on the top left corner of the block.
