Reposition an edge polygon

[Anonymous]

I create an edge polygon in an arbitrary position on the plane (as far as I can tell, with an edge polygon, the start and end points are one edge, so you cannot start by fixing the origin)

Once the polygon is created, I want to move the centre point to the axis origin, as this will make the rest of my workflow much easier.

I go to Modify / Move/Copy

Move = Object

Move type = Point to point

Origin point = the center of the polygon

Target = Axes origin

OK button is greyed out, so I cannot complete the process.

I am REALLY new to Fusion 360, so I expect that I am missing something.

Thanks

Forget you ever saw Move. (or at least for the next 6 months)

You should be using Coincident in sketch

or

Joints for Components.
