This performs parallel translation of the object by the distance specifi ed by the values you input in step 3.

Note

If you select only part of an object before performing step 2 of the above procedure, only the selected part will be translated.

uTo translate an object using an existing vector

1. Draw the object you want to translate. Here, we will use a triangle. Next, draw the vector you want to use for parallel translation.

2. Perform the following operation: 5(Transform) – 3:Trans(Sel Vec).

• This will cause the message “Select Vector” to appear.

3. Move the pointer close to the vector you want to use for the parallel translation.

• Move the pointer towards the vector until  marks appears on it.
