Creo Parametric 7.0.4.0
we recently upgraded to 7.0.4.0, my older version I was able to move mechanisms by hitting Ctrl+Alt+Left Mouse which was very convenient this new version does not allow me to do this, is there a setting somewhere to fix this or is it gone from the new version?
Hello @sazzarello,
Thank you for reporting this behavior with Creo Parametric 7.0.4.0 on your machine.
I ran a quick test on my machine with a simple mechanism assembly and I am able to use the CTRL+ALT+LEFT mouse button to move the bodies from my mechanism.
Please can you confirm that the Drag Component command is working with your assembly.
PS: I ran the test without config.pro and without connection to Windchill.

yes the drag component command works as it should
Thank you for your quick reply and confirmation regarding the drag command.
Is this issue specific to your machine or are you able to reproduce on a different one with Creo 7.0.4.0 as well?
As I mentioned in my previous comment, did you check without your config.pro, config.sup and without connection to Windchill?

I figured it out, seems someone else had the same issue, in the config.pro if you have enable_implied_joints set to no the Ctrl + Alt does not work to drag a component you either need to set it to yes or remove it. thanks for all your help.
Thank you for your follow up and the good news.
You are right. The config option enable_implied_joints is set to yes* by default.
This information will help other community members.
Thanks again.
