      This is a great plugin that I have already used a number of times, and found to be very useful.

      Would it be possible to further enhance the rotation tool so that one could specify an axis?

      I am sometimes frustrated by SU when I need to rotate an object, which is in free-space, as the native rotation tool defaults to Z axis, unless there is a face to reference from. If I need to rotate a line, I have to draw a face, possibly pull it up to get a vertical face, and the lock the axis from that. Then after the rotation there is useless geometry to erase.

      If Mover could fill this shortcoming in SU I would really appreciate it.

      I know that Rotix.rb has this functionality in it already, but it would be nice to have an all-in-one tool.

      Plus the Rotix.rb plugin always uses the center of the object as the rotation point, perhaps you could let us specify any point as the origin for rotation?

      Thanks for considering these thoughts.

      Ampa.

            Hi, Jim
            I use this plugin every day - it is a big time saver for me. I have some suggestions - can we have an option to use components/groups axis instead of model axis. And since You have a simple shell plugin can we have a scaling function as an addition to move and rotate? Thanks.

              Hi Jim!
              May I humbly request to add "scale department" to your 'mover 2'?
              With uniform\non uniform\random\by axis\ lock the component insert point features it'd be a killer plugin.
              Thanks in advance.

                          Thanks for the quick reply.

                          How about Makeorthoviews?

                            I sent that via email since it's a paid plugin.

                              Lest everyone gets the wrong idea, I previously bought Makeorthoviews from SMustard but forgot I did so it was all above board that Jim sent me a copy rather than my having to download it again. 😄

                                This was always a favorite plugin in my arsenal. Nothing else works quite like this! I hope it "plays well" with the other plugins.

                                      Jim, could you test something for me, I am getting errors using this with SU 2107, seems like on some groups when I move them they duplicate when moved, does not happen with components.

                                        I have tested on 2017 and it works the same for me on 2016 & 2017.

                                        The only time you should get a copy is when holding the Ctrl key and clicking an arrow (and/or using the cursor keys.) I don't suppose you unintentionally had your pinky on the Ctrl key?

                                        I just remembered something about the dialog - the dialog is what handles the keyboard input. I think I remember it used to get confused as to what state the ctrl key was in. I thought I added an indicator to the dialog, but maybe it never got done. If it happens again, click on the dialog and toggle the Ctrl key to see if it clears things up.

                                        Other than that, it's difficult to say what's happening.

                                        Hi

                                          I just downloaded MoveIt. The CW and CCW directions are backward on the X and Z axis. I drew a simple box and labeled the TOP and FRONT surfaces, so I know I'm looking at the correct surfaces.
