How to Snap-to / Move a SINGLE component when multiple copies exist?

I have copied/pasted several identical components and if I use the manual MOVE control for the entire component it only moves that particular component.  But if I try to select a point on an object so I can SNAP-TO / MOVE a component (right click a corner and select MOVE) it attempts to move ALL of the similar components instead of just the one I'm focusing on...   How do I SNAP-TO an individual component?

When we select the component in the browser then invoke Move command, it’s in the Move Components mode by default, so we can move that particular component.

 

When we invoke Move first then select objects in the graphics window, it’s in the Move Bodies/Sketches mode. Because these components are identical, any changes made to one body will be also seen in other instances. It should explain what you have experienced. 

 

So, in the second case, we can just switch to Move Components mode by clicking the corresponding Object option in the Move command dialog, then we can move a particular component.

Yes, I understand how to move a single component BUT I need it to SNAP to a specific point on another component.

Hi,

 

In the Move command, we may use the Point to Point transform to snap the component. Is it what you want?

Hope it helps, and please let us know if any questions.
