    • RE: Move and offset in one step

      Never mind, you're right, move along will do it, thanks very much!

    • RE: Move and offset in one step

      Does it? I tried using Move Along already... I'll check again but I'm pretty sure it will only offset from the original point, not the second. In other words, if component A is 100mm from component B, and you move it component A so it is touching component B, and then type 10 into the VCB, it is going to offset it 10mm from where it was originally, not 10mm relative to component B...

      Yes exactly.

    • RE: Move and offset in one step

      Right, thanks, but still a two step process, step 1 move and align points A and B and step 2 move component away/offset by VCB. There's no way to move point A to point B and then offset by a specific amount, all in one step? I know it seems trivial, but if you're doing this a lot it's a time saver (some other 3d modelling programs allow you to do this). Thanks again.

    • Move and offset in one step

      Does anyone know of a plugin or way to move a component to an existing point and then offset it by a specific VCB value?

      Right now if I want component A to be 100mm from component B it is a two step process: draw a guide line 100mm from component B and then align component A to that guideline. I'm just trying to figure out if there's a way I can do this one one step instead of two.

      Thanks in advance.
