The FreeCAD mouse navigation consists of the commands used to visually navigate 3D space and interact with the displayed objects. FreeCAD supports multiple mouse navigation styles. The default navigation style is referred to as CAD Navigation , and is very simple and practical, but FreeCAD also provides several alternative navigation styles to choose from. The selected style is used for all workbenches. For more information about selecting objects see Selection methods. For more information about manipulating objects see Std TransformManip.

How to transform object with mouse Post by lemonbug » Sat Oct 25, pm Hi- I have the default setup on my Mac. If I draw two cubes or cylinders and then right click on one and hold the command key down it allows me to move them about the screen. Is there a way to just select and move one of them. I don't understand why both are moved. Are they considered linked together somehow?

Re: How to transform object with mouse Post by lemonbug » Sat Oct 25, pm Thank you and you are right. I was panning and not moving the objects.

More Read View source View history. Hold Shiftthen move the pointer. If we don't want to look at the lid we change it's visibility setting or by using the space bar we can make it disappear, but we really don't want to move anything.

In this section, I will explain how to make a copy of object like a sketche or a sokid, and to move it to other position. If the selected object has a dependency object, a Selection dialog will be shown. Make sure that all items are checked, then click OK. If you uncheck the dependency object e. Sketch in the selection dialog, the source and copy will share the same dependency object Sketch. In this case, if you change the dependency object Sketch , the change will be reflected not only in the source but also in the copy. A source object and a destination object are overlapped completely after copy operation.

You set precise parameters to the different features building your model, thus it defeats the whole purpose of parametric modeling if in the end you scale the model. I was thinking about it some more, and I realized that complicating factor for me is that I don't see any way to activate any sort of "rulers" to provide visual feedback as I enter placements and dimensions when working with the Part Design WB. Is there a way to just select and move one of them. The OpenCascade navigation style was modeled after OpenCascade. I was panning and not moving the objects. I just don't seem to be able to do any of this with the mouse. Read View source View history. Alternatively, hold the middle mouse button, then press and hold the right mouse button, then move the pointer. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. I completely get that creating a model for moving and sizing things in 3D when you have a mouse is hard. Moving a object A source object and a destination object are overlapped completely after copy operation. But I'm not complaining. But it isn't clear if this is even possible. Can someone point me to stuff I can read to get a better understanding of all this and what is possible?

If this is your first contact with a 3D application, you will need to become familiar with some concepts first. If not, you can safely skip this section. It has an origin point and three axes: X, Y and Z.

It's not very improvisational if that's a word! In this section, I will explain how to make a copy of object like a sketche or a sokid, and to move it to other position.

Example of moving copied object Sketches can be copied and moved in the same way. On this FreeCAD Documentation the language links are at the top of the page across from the article title. Hold Alt and the middle mouse button, then move the pointer. Actually, I'm interested in doing this anyway, but that is a separate investigation.
