0:00

let's talk about shifting

0:03

so I'm going to create a linear weld

0:04

over here

0:06

and then we will pattern it over to this

0:09

part as well

0:11

so I'm going to grab my puck

0:15

teach my two points

0:21

and then we'll hit save

0:26

and so next I'm going to select both of

0:28

those points

0:30

select the shift icon

0:34

and then we're going to teach a new

0:35

origin point so in this case it would be

0:38

the start of your linear welt

0:42

so we'll move it to the start of my next

0:45

linear weld

0:49

select the blue button

0:53

and hit shift points

0:57

you also have the option to pattern

0:59

those points so if you wanted to pattern

1:02

the points you would have one welds here

1:04

and then one weld there

1:06

Shifting the points would result in only

1:09

having one weld over here

1:11

so let's hit play

1:17

and there you go we taut the part over

1:19

here but we actually ran it over here
