Fastolds,
pcms 1965's method is the best way to do the move.........
1. edit
2. transform
3. move
4. location
5. visible (make sure you have the whole part zoomed in)
My addition: from here click "Done". You will see a secondary menu at the top of the screen with words like Sketch, Endpoint, Center, Midpoint, Intersect, Relative, etc. Choose "Center".
6. center (click the center of the hole you want to make XYZ 0)
(Don't try clicking in the center of the circle, click somewhere ON the circle itself, since you've already told Surfcam you wanted the center.)
7. keyboard (make sure x=0 y=0 and z=0)
8. OK
Another point: Pay attention the lower left corner of the screen.....Surfcam gives you information for the next step often times.
Another more cumbersome way, is to select Anylize/Location/Center, click the circle, and the window that pops up will tell you the location on the center of the hole in x, y and z. Then, you can do a translate. Hope this helps.
