Auto. alignment of 1st part axis in assy. with assy. axis?
(OP)
Coming from inventor, i am used to coordinate system of the first part in the assembly with align with the coordinate system of the assembly. Is there a way to force this in solidworks (2008)? It does not seem to be doing this by default. It is not actually apparently how it is determining the fixed placement of the first part.
Thanks for the help.

Just to expand on handleman's correct response, do not click in the graphics window when placing the part, just hit only the checkmark at the top of the property manager. (when I was a newby it took me a while to figure this out)
