Setting a Y value in the Move / copy dialog changes the Z, not the Y property

Anonymous — Sat, 08 Dec 2018 15:33:35 GMT

This behaviour really seems like a bug.

Steps to reproduce are:

1. Create a new sketch on the xz plane

2. Create a point anywhere on that sketch

3. Click on the point and view the coordinates in the bottom right of the screen.

4. Right click on the point and select "Move/Copy"

5. Set the Y distance to 1

6. In the bottom right of the screen notice how the Y coordinate has not changed and the Z coordinate has had 1 subtracted from it.

This only happens when Y up is set in preferences.

Is this expected behaviour?

EDIT: I've seen this similar post but I'm just working in the one sketch orientation system so don't think that is the case here.

@Anonymous, it will somewhat depend on what plane you sketched on. The coordinates in the LR corner are in world space. However, the axes in the sketch move dialog should represent the local sketch coordinate system (the red line is the sketch X axis, the green one is the sketch Y axis).

Do we have any more control over this?

For example can I set the coordinates in the LR corner to show local as opposed to world?

Or can I view the local coordiates some other way?

Or it is possible to bring up a move dialog that moves using world coordinates as opposed to local?

It just seems a bit counter intuative to me - but I'm just a begginer so happy to learn from someone with more experience - but it seems like this must catch more people out than just me.

Maybe the coordinates should be prefixed to show what system they are using?
