Moving 3D PCB components - Issue or I misunderstand how Point to Point works.

If I use Point to point to move a component, then switch back to X,Y my component separates. I would think that since the entire component is selected, it should move together. Or does Point to Point only move a single body in that selection.? This is a component drawn by me, not sure if this would happen on a down loaded component.

Hi @BeeAmaker , thanks for your post. This looks a bug of the move command.

I don't see you click OK after the point2point move.

Clicking OK exits the move command. Then I would have to do a second move command to go back to the X-Y move. Which is the way I had to do it to get them where I wanted them to be.

The way I found this is I have 4 of these sensors on a single board. I was using Point to point to get them all lined up on the X, then switching back to X-Y so I move them over on the Y.

In any case, it shouldn't happen just switching from Point to Point to X-Y movement.

So either I don't have something drawn properly in the 3D model, or it's a bug.

I tested on a few other components that I have drawn and some do it, and some don't so Not sure what ti issue is.

So far I haven't found any pre-drawn parts that do it.

I have noticed that the Pre-Drawn parts all have multiple bodies in a single component. The Parts that I am having this issue are all drawn with multiple components. For example,

Notice the Pins are all separate components instead of bodies within the same component - maybe it has something to do with that.

Hi @BeeAmaker

Thanks a lot for inviting me into your project.

I can reproduce the point to point move issue.

I will report it to the develop team.

And I will keep you updated if I get more information.
