Problem
Starting in SOLIDWORKS 2022, a new control triad appears automatically when users select one or more components in the feature tree. This makes it easier to make controlled component movements in an assembly.
Solution
This functionality is part of Instant3D and can be enabled and disabled by clicking the Instant3D button in the Assembly toolbar. Instant 3D allows users to quickly and efficiently make changes to features, sketches, mates, and more without ever leaving the graphics area.
Users can drag a component by the handles to move it linearly or rotate it using the ring. Copying a component is also easier with the triad. When the triad is available, hold Ctrl and drag one of the handles to copy the selected components along the handle direction.
For more information on other functionality included with Instant3D, review this SOLIDWORKS help file.
For additional support, existing customers can submit a ticket or new customers can contact Hawk Ridge Systems.
