Thank you for submitting this issue 1-17119204046 to our enhancement request system and for your continued patience as we work to address it.

This update is to let you know that we have promoted your request to an enhancement Software Performance Request (SPR). What this means is that our development team will be evaluating the enhancement request for possible inclusion in a future release of the software.

The SPR's reference number is:  1076721,

"When moving or rotating (dragging) a component, allow user to lock movement / rotation direction to orthogonal (XYZ) plane/axis using X, Y and Z keyboard shortcuts.".

I have attached your Enhancement Request to the SPR so that you will be automatically notified of any future updates. Note that the status of this Enhancement Request will be set to “Closed” indicating that the appropriate action has been completed for this Enhancement Request by Product Definition (in this case, attaching this Enhancement Request to an SPR). You can check on the status of this Enhancement Request as well as the status of any SPR’s associated to this Enhancement Request by clicking on the “My ERs (Enhancement Requests)” link in your SolidWorks Customer Portal account.

Thank you again for helping to improve our products.

Regards,
