You can transform the selected geometry actors based on the transformation represented by the starting and ending coordinate systems you select.

Notes:
  • This command cannot transform collaborative actors.
  • To specify the coordinate systems, you can select geometry actors (to use their local coordinate systems) or coordinate system collaborative actors.

  1. Select one or more geometry actors to transform.


  2. Click Copy Transformation Between 2 Actors .
  3. Select the starting coordinate system by clicking a geometry actor or coordinate system collaborative actor.


    Note: When you hover over a geometry actor, its coordinate system is displayed.
