Move, Copy

Move or copy geometry objects by translation.

Syntax

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Move");

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Copy");

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection(property);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

Description

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Move") to move geometry objects.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"Copy") to move a copy of geometry objects.

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).selection("input") to select the objects to move or copy. The default selection is empty.

The following properties are available:

Table 3-76: Valid Properties
Name	Value	Default	Description
input	Selection		Objects to move or copy.
keep	on \| off	off (Move) on (Copy)	Keep input objects.
displ	double[] \| double[][]	0	Displacement vector(s).
selresult	on \| off	off	Create selections of all resulting objects.
selresultshow	all \| obj \| dom \| bnd \| edg \| pnt \| off	dom	Show selections, if selresult is on, of resulting objects in physics, materials, and so on, or in part instances. obj is not available in a component’s geometry. dom, bnd, and edg are not available in all features.
contributeto	String	none	Tag of cumulative selection to contribute to.
workplanesrc	this \| Part Instance feature	this	Part Instance feature to take the work plane from (in 3D only).
workplane	xyplane \| Work plane feature	xyplane	Work Plane feature that defines the coordinate system (in 3D only). The default, xyplane, is the global Cartesian coordinate system.

If displ is a one-dimensional array, a single copy of each input object is created using the translation vector displ. If displ is a two-dimensional array, several copies can be created, where the nth copy has translation displ[i][n] in the ith coordinate.

For information about the selresult and contributeto properties, see Selections of Geometric Entities.

Example

The sequence below moves a circle from the origin to (2, 3):

Code for Use with Java

Model model = ModelUtil.create("Model1");

model.component().create("comp1");

GeomSequence g = model.component("comp1").geom().create("geom1",2);

g.create("c1","Circle");

g.create("m1","Move");

g.feature("m1").selection("input").set("c1");

g.feature("m1").set("displ", new double[][]{{2},{3}});

g.run();
