Copy Rotate in Sketch Mode in SW 2006

Copy Rotate in Sketch Mode in SW 2006

Copy Rotate in Sketch Mode in SW 2006

(OP)
It appears that SW 2006 does not have the same copy rotate command in sketch mode as SW2005.  Does anyone know a simple way to do a copy rotate in 2006?

Thanks

RE: Copy Rotate in Sketch Mode in SW 2006

Does SW06 not have Tools > Sketch tools > Move/Copy/Rotate commands?
In the toolbar customise feature is there no specific icon to be moved into the toolbar?

Check the "What's new" section. The PDF I have, shows the functions are available.

cheers

Thank you - I see circular pattern does what I want.

Move/copy/rotate is not available in SW2006 from what I see, but Circular pattern does fine.

Thanks for your help

CorblimeyLimey,

Move, copy, rotate, and scale all functioned as the same tool and had the same interface in 05 and there was an options box to copy. The 06 interface has move, copy, rotate, and scale standing alone. I guess this was to give each tool more powere. These functions now almost act the same way the move, copy, rotate pattern features do. It drove me nut when I first changed to 06 but I now see the light. The sketch tools are more powerful than they were before.

RE: Copy Rotate in Sketch Mode in SW 2006

they are all separate commands in SW06, they are still there, but are limited. YOu need to place an ER into SW and have them improve the commands, or they will never be improved.

SW 2006 can also create a new sketch block out of the geometry of interest.  You could then copy/paste/scale that to your heart's content.
