Rectangular Translation Vector

Choose this option to define the translation by specifying a horizontal distance and a vertical distance.

When you specify a rectangular vector, positive distances indicate translation to the right or up, and negative distances indicate translation to the left or down.

Each of these distances can be a Fixed Distance (a number in your current distance unit), or a Marked Distance (a distance measurement you’ve specified using the Mark Distance command). If you want to use a distance measurement that exists in your sketch but has not already been marked, you can click that measurement now to mark it. When you click a distance measurement in the sketch, the measurement you click becomes the marked vertical distance and the previous marked vertical distance becomes the marked horizontal distance.
