1.         Select a translation type: Move or Copy, as shown in Figure 5.1.33. Once Copy is selected, the In Original Part option is activated. The user can select or deselect In Original Part. If it is not selected, the copied line will be in the current part.

            2.        Select the coordinate system (CS). If Define is selected, the program will display the LCS dialog box for the user to define a new LCS. For details about defining LCS refer to Section 2.5, Local Coordinate System. The transformation will be completed in the newly defined system. The Save option can be used to save the newly created coordinate system to the current database. If it is selected, the new C.S. will be saved, otherwise, it will not be saved. If Define is not selected, the LCS dialog box will not be displayed, and the transformation will be completed in the current coordinate system.

            3.       Point To Point Move. If Point To Point Move is selected, the Input Coordinate dialog box as illustrated in Figure 5.1.4 will be displayed after clicking Apply. The program will perform the translation transformation according to the (xyz) coordinates difference between the two selected two points. This option is only active during translation operation.

            4.       Input Value. If Input Value is selected, the Direction and Distance options will be activated. The user can select X-Axis, Y-Axis, Z-Axis or XYZ, and enter the DX, DY, DZ values to determine the translation direction. The user can determine the translation distance by entering a value.

            5.       Select line. Refer to Section 4.4.1 Part/Add Line for more information.
