Mating to origin

Apr 14, 2004 2 Replies

When installing the first part into an assembly, you can automatically coincide the origins of the first part with the assembly. Is there a way to re-fix that part so that their origins are coincident once you set it to float?



TIA


drag the part into the assy but instead of letting go in the design area drag to the origin in the FMT and let go. You will see it jump to origin to origin.

right click to float. right click to fix

Mate the 3 main plaes together (i.e. Front with Front, Right with Right, and Top with Top). Now delete those mates. Then RMB the component (Tree or Graphics Area) and choose Fix.
