Drag problem by mouse

Post by SamSela »

I'm a begginer. I notice I can't move objects or axes, nor I can rotate a body with the mouse.
I guess I have to set some parameter in the Preferences, under Edit.
Could someone help me in this issue?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

See Placement. You can move a body with Transform tool available in the context menu.

are we talking about translating/rotating objects in the cad coordinate system,
or moving/zooming/rotating the view?
if the latter Mouse_navigation is what you are looking for.
