Please open attached part and edit the Move/Copy Body feature. Unless something isn't displaying properly on my end, the PMP shows no parameters for translation, rotationa, or mates, and yet the body is moved. How was this feature created?

You need to open up the Arrow beside the Bodies to move and you will see the options.
Keith this seems to be some kind of bug OR corrupted file. Even if I change the values in the feature, it revert back to same value/position (value is 0 for all).
That's weird. On my PC when I first edit the feature those sections are missing:
Then if I collapse the "Bodies to Move/Copy" area then suddenly the "Translate" area appears:
Then if I expand the "Translate" area, suddenly the "Rotate" section appears:
The other thing that is odd is that even when you get those areas to appear, there is no translation or rotation entered. You can click on the "Constraints" button and that give options to translate by mating, but there are no mates there either. So I don't know where the info is for the actual move that the feature produces. Even if I click the green check to exit the feature with all 0 in the translation fields the feature still moves the body. If I enter some new value for translation, like 1" in the X direciton, the preview is there but when I check out of it it goes back to the old move.
I'm stumped, I guess it's all just a bug.
Edit: Another thing that is weird is that if you add another feature (like a small extrude coming off the block) before the Move/Copy, you will see that it is actually mirroring the part, not just moving it.
Thanks Deepak and Jamil for thoroughly researching this.
Fortunately, with the API, I can still get the transform using IBody2::GetCoincidenceTransform2 and probably extract the translation or rotation properties from there. (Getting those parameters is my ultimate goal.)

You can also just roll back before the Move and copy the body, then when you roll forward again you can compare your copy of the original to the moved version.
