Assembly3 MovePart
Description
The Move part command provides a tool to move a part within an assembly context. It consists of 3 rings to rotate the part and 6 handles (crossed double arrows) to move the part without rotation. The rings and handles are positioned and oriented according to the selected object\'s implicit coordinate system (ICS).
