Translate Objects

This operation is used to move the objects a certain distance.

In tube cutting configuration, translation character differs in the shape of the tube:

• Square tube cutting:

  When an object is being translated, its center catches center line automatically. Ensure that you move the object inside the tube in drawing window.

  If you exceed the tube, the system cannot execute machining and prompts "Convert to 3D toolpath failed!" in status bar.

• Circular tube cutting:

  Since machining area for a circular tube has no limit, you can translate objects in tube height area.
