Problem- using the drag command

[Claude Boudreau]

Can you draw an entity in 3D and copy it using the (change /translate/drag) command without loosing the Z level ?

Or do you have to copy using the increment command? Still using ver.21

I just drug a solid cube while I was in the "TOP" view and moved it to the top right quadrant. The "Z" position did not change but the x and y did.
I don't know if this answered your question.

I have not use it with solid , but let`s take a simple arc starting at X0,Y0,Z0, then X1,Y0, Z-0.5, and ending at X2, Y0, Z0. try moving it using drag , then verify,or look at the front view, it does not keep its z level with me...

You a correct, it did the same thing for me. I created the arc in the "front" view with the points given. Then I selected the arc in the "TOP" view and moved it to a new x y location, and when returning to the "front" view, it has moved up in the "Z" axis. OK now what caused this? hmmmm? I tried selecting while in the top view at different locations on the arc (near the point on the left, near the lowest point, close to the center point, each yeilding the same result......) Any body else got a clue? Mine resulted in moving about 50% up in the front view.

Anyone else with a solution to this ? It seem to actually move the arc midway on the z axis.Check with verify...
