Move Linear 
Access: Open this function from the following location:
-
Select Edit > Move & Copy > Move Linear from the Part menu bar.
Move geometry in a straight line.
There are several options for setting the location and direction of the move.
The following is the Feature Guide for Move Linear.

Tip:Required Step 1 
Pick the entities that you want to move. All types of entities can be picked. The cursor will tell you what you are picking, and you can use various geometry selection tools such as the Selection Filter or the Face Selection Options to enable you to pick the entities you want.
When moving several faces from the same body, the faces are not unstitched but keep the original topology.
Press <exit><exit> when the required entities are picked.
Note: You can also select the entities and then enter the Move function. The selected entities will be automatically included in Step 1.
Required Step 2 
Select the type of linear move operation. The following options are available:

 |
The following options are available:
Move the selected geometry from an origin point to one or more destination points. Select the origin point and then select one or more destination points that determine the relative moving vector. (See Picking Points.) To change the destination, click an existing destination point and then choose a new point. To reselect both points, click the existing origin point and then reselect both points.
See Single and Multiple Destinations below.
From Point to Points > Single Destination

From Point to Points > Multiple Destinations
Multiple destination points can be picked by using "box selection".

A Triad symbol is displayed. Move the selected geometry along a delta XYZ of the Triad and/or rotate around one or more selected axes of the Triad. Either set the values in the parameter fields or use the displayed Triad to drag and/or rotate the geometry.
When dragging geometry along an axis, or rotating around an axis on screen, the Triad symbol is displayed.
Example:Example:
The Triad allows dragging in 3D, along the X, Y, and Z axes or on the XY, XZ and YZ planes (as well as free dragging). It also allows rotation dragging around each one of the axes (X axis, Y axis, or Z axis). The Triad Data Pane is displayed when dragging or rotating objects, providing real-time delta movement information.
 |
 |
This option enables you to rotate the selected entities around one or axes of the Triad. Either use the Triad for dragging and rotating or set values in the parameter fields.
In the example below, a parameter field is used to define the rotation angle around the Z axis of the Triad.
 |
 |
Use the blue arrow to set the vector direction and set the delta value - the absolute distance by which the entities will move. You can click on the arrow head or body to reverse the direction.
 |
 |
Select the origin UCS and then select one or more destination UCSs. To change the destination, click an existing destination UCS and then choose a new UCS. To reselect both UCSs, click the existing origin UCS and then reselect both UCSs.
