RE: Reposition component
-open original part/product model (make displayed part)
-add new part using absolute csys
-open too assembly
You will now have the new part in the correct position, as a sub-component to the existing part. To fix that,
-drag and drop the new part in the assy tree
I find this MUCH easier than adding the new part and trying to reposition it. Sometimes thats not possible with the 3d shape, lack of datums, and compound rotations required.
It will not be mated, but if you require that it could be mated after put into roughly the position you want.
