Moving / Rotating Objects in Workdesk / Workspace

Multiple objects can be moved / rotated at once. This includes objects such as connectors, leading parts, special components, housings, backshells, etc. which can be moved / rotated in the workspace / workdesk working window and the control points of paths (bundles, cables, wires, any type of surface protection). Even whole paths can be moved / rotated. To do so, the path must be selected first.

Objects can be moved / rotated in global workspace / workdesk coordinates or in object-specific local coordinates.

  1. Select the Edit > Move / Edit > Rotate menu items or the (Move) or (Rotate) button on the main toolbar and then the desired object(s) or vice versa.
  2. In the Coordinate system section of the command bar select the Global or Local (object) coordinate system option.
  3. In the Position section of the command bar enter a value and click [OK] to move / rotate the object along the desired axis by the specified value.

    The command remains active.
  4. To move / rotate the object along a particular axis, just drag the axis handler with the mouse in the desired direction in the workdesk / workspace working window.
  5. Terminate the Rotate / Move command by clicking [Cancel] in the command bar.

Note:

When rotating a ribbon cable control point which has a simple folding set, a special handler is displayed. Using this handler it is possible to specify the control point's in- and outgoing vector and the angle independently.
