Origin centering upon creation of assembly?
Origin centering upon creation of assembly?
(OP)
Is it possible for the first part you insert into an assembly to have it's front, top and right planes mated with that of the origin? I can find no rhyme or reason as to how that first part, the one that becomes fixed upon insertion, is placed?
Right now I have to "float" it and then mate all the planes together. Is there a simpler way?
Thank you.

Instead of dragging a component into the main display window, do the following:

It isn't really mated by planes but fixed there just the same.
If you want a specific point on your model to be at the origin of the assy, just create the model with it's origin there.
hope this helps
