move/rotate tool

[W. Wagelaar]

To move and/or rotate a part around in an assembly there are two tools needed and sometime you have to do a lot of mouseclicking to get the part where you want it. I did some experimenting with SpaceClaim recently and they have a very interesting tool to do the same with less mouseclicks. You can move and rotate the part with one tool. Would be very interesting to have something similar in Alibre

Hi, Willem.
They have similar one at CoCreate and they call it 3D Copilot.




I like them pretty much.

According to the marketing guy from Inventor, ( I must have mentioned before...)
They are using the same engine for these manipulation, as well as ACIS as their kernel.
It seems to me Alibre does not deploy this 3D copilot thing, I am not sure though.
And assuming they haven't, once they do, it become more or less the same appearance as the rest
as well as their cost might be.

Inventor one did not look quite good, to me.
