Moving multiple components

sansanpartida — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 06:48:05 GMT

Hi 👋

New to Fusion but I wanted to give it a try.

I have a STEP generated from KiCAD and I just wanted to move components around but when I move my selection some components follow they own axis.

Maybe there is an option to turn off local coordinate for each components so they just move according to my main coordinate but I didn't find a way to do it

Shouldn’t all of those components be in one sub-assembly component?

The step file is opened as is directly from KiCAD export.
If this is possible I want to minimize the number of alteration that I need to do in order to move the PCB.

Do I need to create an assembly to move all the components and the PCB?

Right click > Create New Component.

Drag and drop your components into this new component.

It should now move as a single sub-assembly.
