@Emna Sellami raised a good question about moving parts around in xStudio.
I guess the discoverability issue may arise from several factors:
- Remember to double click a part to select it. Single-click selects the entire assembly, rather than the target part.
- Once a part is selected, please look for a small triad, sometimes at a corner, as shown below. This small manipulator integrates lots of controls to move, rotate, and scale parts.
- The arrows translate a part in xyz directions.
- The planes move parts along that planes.
- The quarter circles rotate them.
- The top dot to scale up and down.
- Hence the click has to be very precise on the triad.
E.g.
Drag an arrow to translate:
Drag a plane to move along that plane:
Drag the quarter circle to rotate:
Drag the top dot to scale up and down.
Now what if I made several unwanted manipulations?
No worries. You can cancel all these by simply remove all the scene changes as shown below:
