Guys,
When you open an assembly:-
Do your components assembled with connections appear in all the wrong places/orientations?
Are you fed up of having to redefine them so they go back into place every time you open a model?
Well I finally found the answer to this infuriating problem.
When you are happy with the position of all your mechansims, go into Mechanism/Drag, and make a snapshot called 'Master'.
Save your assembly.
Next time you open it and the components are sticking out all over the place, go to Mechanism/Drag, and view the snapshot called 'Master'. Hey Presto, all your components magically snap back into place.
