I am new to CATIA 5. I want to copy and translate a line and some text. So, I opened up a current drawing and I go to "Insert", "Geometry modification", "Transformations" and "Translate". The Translate function asks for the geometry I want to translate, and I pick it. And, I pick the text I want to copy and translate, also.

But, then I don't know what to do to exit out of the menu so I can pick the point I want to translate from and to.

Or, am I in the wrong function to do this?

Thanks,
