The Transformations tab of the operation and body parameters dialog contains information about element's transformations.
There are several ways of assigning transformations:
•upon creating primitives;
•upon inserting a fragment into an assembly;
•using the Transformations command;
•directly in the Transformations tab of the element's parameters dialog.
All transformations created in any possible way are displayed in the Transformations tab of the parameters dialog.
The main disadvantage of assigning transformations directly in the parameters dialog is that it doesn't allow to use reference elements (axis, vector, point, LCS). A symmetry also can not be applied. As for the rest, the functionality of the Transformations tab of the parameters dialog is similar to the functionality of the Parameters window, described for the Transformations command, except the absence of Mate Transformations which are displayed in the separate tab.

The legacy layout of the Transformations tab may be displayed when editing files created in old versions of the T-FLEX CAD. If you want to switch to a new layout for a particular element, apply the Transformations command to such element without adding any new transformations
