Infer WCS

I can't seem to infer the WCS using NX6 while doing a csys to csys 'move' (used to be a Transform-> Reposition). Instead, I have to save WCS before doing the Move or recreate it through the csys dialog within 'move'. Not a big deal (much like several of my last posts here), but does anyone know if it is still possible?

Thanks,
KLINE

If you're attempting this at the assembly level, then it's not possible. You will have to revert to the legacy transform functions.

Use the 'offset' option, use the 'WCS' option as the reference with 0 offsets. That should do the trick.
 
Thanks cowski, your idea caused me to discover that I should now just create both CSYS on the fly within 'move' that works even better for moving stuff where keeping the coordinate system isn't necessary.
