This task explains the parameters in the Move dialog box
that determine the set of components that will be moved along with the
specific object that you displace.
|
 |
Note: You no longer need to switch to
Design mode as Visualization mode and cgr files now permit selection. You
can select lines, points, axis and planes.

Open the
ProductForReset.CATProduct
document. |

Click the Translation or Rotation icon
.
The Move dialog box is displayed. Translation, Rotation,
Position and Transformation options are available:

About the Move parameters
Apply on leaf product: this parameter enables you to manage
the positioning:
- if set, the transformation is performed between the selected
component and its father
- if unset, the transformation is performed between the UI-Active
product and the son of the UI-Active product which is an ancestor of the
selected component (by default, the UI-Active product is the root part,
for information about re-defining the UI-Active product, see the Product
Structure User's Guide, Moving the components of a sub-product in the
parent product).
Relative move: this parameter enables you to define the
behavior of the transformation, i.e. the reference from which the
transformation is going to be performed:
- if set, the transformation is performed with respect to the father
component of the selected object (relative move)
- if unset, the transformation of the selected component is performed
with respect to the root product and sub-products (absolute move)
These two parameters are set to on by default to ease the moving
operations, i.e. translation, rotation, positioning and transformation (a
combination of translation and rotation).

The following scenario attempts to
illustrate the effects of the Apply on leaf product and
the Relative move options. The following color associations have
been established for the different products:
- Product 1: Yellow
- Product 2: Red
- Product 3: Green
- Product 4: Blue
- Product 5: Purple

-
Select Product2 in the specification tree, select the
Transformation tab in the Move dialog box, enter the following values and
press the Apply button:


-
Select Product3 in the specification tree, select the
Transformation tab in the Move dialog box, enter the following values and
press the Apply button:


-
Double-click Product2 to make it the UI-Activated
product, deselect the Apply on leaf product option and pass the cursor
over the specification tree.


You will notice that only descendants of Product2 can be moved
(indicated by the icon in form of a hand with pointing finger) and that
the selected product must be a direct child of Product2.
-
Select Product3 in the specification tree, select the
Translation tab in the Move dialog box, enter the following values and
press the Apply button:
