Hide:

The box allow to hide selected entities during the use of the command, to be able to select other entities more easily, especially those who were behind.

Reference Part:

You are able to use a reference part for your displacement.

If, as a result, the reference part is moved, exploded entities that use this item as reference will also be moved.

To remove an entity in this filed, just click an empty place of the graphic area when this field is active.

Ignore Dependencies:

If the item moved is used as reference by another displacement, selecting this cell will turn off this reference.

The item is therefore moved without moving items using it as reference.
