Move Bolt Ends
The Move Bolt Ends option allows you to move the endpoint vertices of bolts to a new location. This allows you to change the position, length or orientation of existing bolts.
NOTE: if you want to change bolt length without changing bolt orientation, then use the Stretch Bolts option rather than the Move Bolt Ends option.
To move bolt vertices:
- Select Move Bolt Ends from the Support menu.
- You will be prompted to select the bolt vertices that you wish to move. You can select them individually, or select multiple bolt vertices with a selection window.
- When you are finished selecting, press Enter or right-click and select Done Selection.
- You will then be prompted to enter a base point and a second point defining the move. This can be done graphically with the mouse or by entering coordinates in the prompt line. As soon as you enter the second point, the selected bolt vertices will be moved to their new positions. TIP: you can define a relative move by typing the @ symbol in the prompt line followed by the relative coordinates. In this case you will not be prompted to enter the second point.
