point to point copy

[jerry1423]

I am using NX6.0.4.3

When I copy something in the Edit>Move command and use "point to point" sometimes the copy goes in the direction opposite to what I expected it to go in.
It did not do it all the time, but the first time I it happened to me I copied two lines, instead of one - and then after it happened that first time it did it every time.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Jerry,

I haven't seen it and don't know the answer, but for those things you can want to use point to point copy for these days I'm inclined to use instance feature because I can! Maybe it isn't really an answer, but it might save you the grief anyway.

Hudson, since we're talking about NX 6.0 you were referring to 'Instance Object', weren't you?

Now that you went and made me think about my use of terminology what I was really thinking of was "instance geometry". The question was rather generic and when you think about it that probably is for the most part a better tool than transformations if you're copying objects.

I was doing a point to point copy (with lines) because I am creating title blocks and drawing borders for the company that I am now at. They are going from Ideas to NX6.

I've had a similar problem in Drafting...

When I do a "Move" copy using point to point or dynamic, it copies lines on the page I did not ask for.

I know its a glitch but thought I'd throw that out there if it helps.

I probably should have mentioned above that I was doing it while in Drafting and on the drawing.
