I've drawn a rectangle using create rectangle by 2 points . I now want to move the entire rectangle so it's center is at x - 5mm and y 0 mm . How do I do that ?
Turn on grid and set the snap option to on.
You can either:
It's on the "Sketching" tab, in the "Draw" pallet.
...you might also try the "Command Finder" at the bottom right of the screen....it'll give visual cues to lead you there also.
It's way easier than the old MasterCAM UI....have a look at this quick video, to see if I got what your looking for covered.
Exactly what I want to do . I told my buddy I thought we could do it like that but he says 'gotta do it on the cross slide " . Problem is , the cross slide needs to be assembled and then put on the mill and we don't have a cart to carry the cross slide to the mill so he said he needs to borrow one . My thought was just to mill the lines you drew tangent and hit the sharp points with a file . the radii are 15.3 mm in one corner and 16.6 mm in another corner but only a portion of the 90 degree sweep ( I guess that's what I'd call it ) is in the corners . we've got .13mm tolerance and I'm thinking maybe a thousnath or 2 is all that will be left to hit with a file . I'll continue monkeying with it . Thanks .
To move the rectangle, you can first pick its center using alignment indicators then mov eit using either grid snapping as shown below:
or using the key-in as below:
