Moves are a very important aspect of the tolerance simulation model building process. Moves not only define how a part locates to another part, but they can be defined in a specific order to describe an assembly or manufacturing sequence. Most models can be built using a combination of a few basic moves. 3DCS contains the most generally used moves along with a few for specialized applications.

To Copy/Duplicate an Existing Move:Select the move to copy from the 3DCS Tree Window. Right-click and select [Copy] or [Quick Copy]. Copy will allow the user to Copy the same move to a new Part or Assembly level location. Right-click on the new part and select Paste. Quick Copy will copy the move under the original move, copying all the parameters from the original move.
To Convert a Move from One Type to Another:Select Move, Select a move in the Move list and press the Change Type button. Select the new move type from the list.
