- DELTA allows you to translate or shift entities from one
- location to another by a specified vector.
-
- Indicate the method of transformation by choosing from the
- following options:
-
- MOVE - to apply the transformation directly to the
- selected entities. All non-geometric data relating
- to the entities is preserved.
-
- COPY - to apply the transformation to copies of the
- selected entities. Copies are created on the active level
- and retain the attributes of the original geometry. All
- non-geometric data relating to the entities is preserved.
- You can create as many copies as you want in one
- operation. The transformation for a given copy is
- applied to the results of the previous copy.
-
- JOIN - to apply the transformation to copies of the
- selected entities and create lines from join positions on
- the original entities to corresponding positions on the
- copies. The new joining entities are lines that assume
- all the current default line attributes. Coincident
- positions generate only one joining entity.
-
- Joined copies are created on the active level; all
- non-geometric data relating to the entities is preserved;
- you can create as many copies as you want in one
- operation; the transformation for a given copy is applied
- to the results of the previous copy.
-
-
- Select the desired entities, using a Selection Menu
- option.
-
- If using MOVE, enter the specified vector. After the
- selected entities are moved, you can choose from the
- following options:
-
- CONT - to continue transforming the selected entities.
-
- UNDO - to reverse the move and return the entity to where
- it was before the move.
-
- If using COPY or JOIN, enter the desired number of copies
- and press <Enter>.
-
- Enter the translation vector. The prompt differs depending
- on the state of the COORD: function in the Status Window.
- To indicate a zero value, press <ENTER> without entering a
- number.
-
- If you world coordinates (COORD:WLD), enter the following
- values:
- dX= dY= dZ=
-
- If you view coordinates (COORD:VW), enter the following
- values:
-
- dXV= dYV= dZV=
