Part / Subassy Coordinate System
Part / Subassy Coordinate System
(OP)
Is there an easy way to change, "normalize", the coordinate system of a part/subassy to match that of an assy for which the part/subassy is a component? i.e.Let's say I create a new part/subassy relative to its default coord system and then put it into an assy but would like the part/subassy coordinate system to become such that its relative location and orientation to the part/subassy are defined by how the part/subassy sits in the assy. I would like this in order to create a universal coordinate system, facilitation the insertion of this part/subassy into any larger assy or layout.
Hopefully that is all stated more clearly than it looks to me !!!!
I am not that experienced with coord system manipulation etc, so hopefully this has some very simple answer.
Thanks,
Mike

For existing parts you can use the Move/Copy Body function which creates a feature in the FM tree, or use the Edit Sketch Plane function to place sketches onto the correct/new planes.
See also Help > Index > coordinate systems.
For assemblies just re-orientate the parts.
