Face move captured by timeline but without parameters

[ltomuta]

To achieve a tolerance between parts in an assembly I need to move a hole by a few hundreds of a millimeter. This being an imported STEP, I turned on the Capture design history then moved the hole. As expected, a "move face" event/operation was added to the timeline but if I click on it later to check what I moved, by how much and in which direction, the dialog that opens is zeroed out completely. Useless.

Hi,

1.Move always starts from zero.
2. Delete the hole and recreate it at the desired position.

1. The point of the timeline is to capture my actions and my move action was a non-zero move. If I open the item, it should show me what I did and allow me to undo or move differently from 0 (original position). I call this a bug.
2. Thanks, I can find workarounds but in this case the move was really all I needed. Delete + new hole is better on the long run but more work that should be required.

You are free to think so, but it does not change the fact that Move always refers to the current position.

Use one of the translate options, not Free Move.

Originally Fusion only had free move, when it was later made fully parametric with only the translate options lots of people complained so free move was added back. Personally I'd never use free move for the reason you're complaining about.

Hi,

If you really want to use Move, you could define a point and move the surfaces with the option point to point.

@HughesTooling Sounds like another case of operations defaulting to the wrong choice of overlapping features. I'll have to give Translate a try and it it works in this scenario, I'll have to force myself to use it. One more click that should not be needed.

I use both quite often and appreciate having the choice.

I don't mind choice, I mind that one choice, the default one, is a broken thing that does not work on the timeline.

It should be fixed. It is sad that people are so used to it being broken that they think it is a feature.
