Move Tool

This tool can be accessed from the Home group or by pressing M or T on your keyboard.

Drag the white planes or arrow manipulators to move selected objects, or enter a value in the microdialog to move them a precise distance. You can also select a plane or arrow to restrict translation or rotation to the selected plane or direction. Select the tool center to translate in 3D.

Certain types of entities (like parts, concentrated masses, and forces) can be moved with the Move tool. Other entities such as sketch entities cannot be moved because their position and orientation are determined by the object to which they are applied. When a part is translated or rotated, all entities applied to the part move with it.
