The move/copy body feature doesnt work.

I dont want to mate it - i just want to move it approximately.

part inserted into a part? or part inserted into an assembly?

what version of sw?

after you have inserted the part, right click on the part in the FM, edit the feature, then you will see a check box at the bottom that says 'Launch move dialog'

ok thanks - have tried this out a lot now. I've also realised that I can do it using displacement in the render software. Cheers.
