The question was asked, "It looks like you should have moved [the motor mate connector] in X, not Z. I think you misunderstood the question. I thought the same. Starting at 33:00, referring to the orientation cube, as you said earlier to do, the movement you obtained looks to me to be in the X axis, not the Z. What am I missing? I think I got the answer at about 39:45. Is it that the motor shaft is parallel to the Z axis as the part was originally designed? At any rate, choosing the correct axis -- without trial and error -- is not intuitive to me.
Transform by distance , can it follow a curved edge

Glad you figured it out...sorry it took trial and error though.
Where does that original line between the two parts of the U-Bolt come from?

Thanks for the help, Matthias!
great vid. are there keyboard shortcut for this? ive seen shortcut lists but not really for editing/transform tool. thanks!
Not yet! Good call though...but always use that shortcut search tool, or add it to the "s" key shortcuts.
Say you have a part floating above z=0 and you want to move it to z=0 (i.e. for 3D printing). Howto?
Most slicing softwares will give you these options...I wouldn't sweat doing this in the CAD tool itself.
How do you draw the Transform Line?
StringGene Make a sketch on the surface.
Thanks Matthias!
