Move entire body on x/y plane

Post by gadgets53 »

I created a body with several sketches and references and attempted to execute a cut path on one of my sketches (sketch004) when I reached an outer limit on my CNC bed. Now I need to move the entire part so I can reference a new 0,0 point so I can mount the same part further down on the bed. My lesson learned here is to center my part on the x/y plane so I can put it anywhere on the bed. What steps need I take to accomplish this?

btw :
* Sketch004 on Face = TNP :twisted:
* Sketch004 on XY_plane = :P

* Sketch004/005/006 sketches : :o :shock: seems over-complicated imho

* Pocket001+002 = you should use PartDesign_Hole

There is a clone called Model-<<Something>> in the job, which you have to move, not the object you are working on.
