    What are the api calls for the x,y,z directions for the "Body-Move/Copy"
    ? I would like to make a design table control the move. but do not know
    what or how to call it out on the table

    I don't find a simple API call for this.

    I don't know whether you can access this with API or not. I do know
    that you can not access Move/Copy Feature within a standard Design
    Table. But if you insert a sketch before the Move/Copy Feature with a
    line drawn in it showing a relative move from a start point to a finish
    point, and then inside the Move/Copy Feature you can use the 2 sketch
    points to dictate a point-to-point Move/Copy rather than a value driven
    Move/Copy. So now, when going back to the driving sketch, you can do
    all the usual API calls or Design Table manipulation of the dimensions
    in that sketch (and the Move/Copy Feature will update accordingly).

    That's worth a Tip of the Day post.
