2D point to point move of body?

[charlieuk]

It may be me but is there a way to do a point to point move of a body but only have it move in one or two dimensions or say move a point to a surface but in only two dimension's?

many thanks

Yes, you can definitely do a 2D point-to-point move of a body, as long as the two points you have are in the same plane.  One easy way to do this is to create a sketch.

Below is a screencast showing this.  I have purposely rotated the cube so it is not oriented with the origin.  Then, I create a sketch offset from one of the origin planes, project one corner of the cube into that sketch, and then create a line with a fixed length and angle from that point.  Then, use Move in Body mode.  Select the body, choose "point to point", and specify the sketch point as the start point and the other end as the end point:
