Hello,

I imported an object and need it at the origin. For some reason (lost units settings... wrong scale...), its location is millions of mm away from the origin.

How can I move it to the origin? I tried the "move" command and 0,0,0+enter as second command but that's not working.

Hi,

i selected the rectangle then clicked on the move tool and bounding box center.
After that i went to the bottom (while still selected) and entered: 0 0 0 and it worked.

Regards
Stefan

Menu Transform / Move (Stefan was more speedy than me ... i don't take the bounding box...

Click a middle of an edge of your rectangle as Start Point
Click 0 on the Numeric Keyboard - Enter
Button Reset View

You can see the grids! :)

Hi skipper, so the Move command has 2 point a "base point" for the spot on the object that you want to move, and a "target point" for where you want to move it to.

So for your first point you need to get a point on or near the object. Like Stefan writes above the easiest way to do this is to push the "Bounding box center" button which is the command options area underneath the "Pick base point" prompt:



Push that button for the first "base point" point pick and that will take the center of the object's bounding box as the base point.

Then for the target point you can either use the mouse with object snap to pick the 0,0,0 origin as the target point, or you can also type in 0 and push enter. Typing 0 <enter> is a shortcut for 0,0,0 .
