Hi!

Select the entity's that you want, xform, translate then select "use new attributes" and choose new level!

Select items, Left click levels on status bar, Select move or copy...This way doesnt change them to all the same color.

Voila !

 

this is the best way to do it

 

or you can set the attribute manager to set the colour and level for you automatically

On my system it is right click on the levels on the status bar to bring up the change levels dialog box. left click just brings up the level manager. I dont use this so not sure if it is common. I have my change level set to my right mouse drop down.

Cuda is right, Tip: click inside this box to load the editor

My favorite way, is to do it right inside of the Level Manager. Right click on any level and a menu comes up and you can cut, copy, and paste right there, as well as, purge empty levels and renumber them.

Comes up this way here also, and is my preferred way of copying/moving

hmmmmmm....i can't get mine to do this? I don't get a response when i right click in my manager? sounds like a nice way to do it... wonder why mines not working?

You need to have the entities selected before you right click.

This may be a case of your undo buffer getting full.

 

Depending on the version you're running, system memory and how much stuff

you're trying to move, you can do everything right and nothing happens.

This frequently happens after importing a large solid model.

You import it, then try to tranlate it, and it won't move.

 

The solution is to shut down and restart Mastercam.
