Insert Component API

Insert Component API

Insert Component API

(OP)
I have an assembly that I am trying to insert another sub-assembly into.

What I would like to do is to have the sub-assembly's
origin to be insert at a specific X,Y,Z cords.

However, when the component is inserted into the assembly, it is being placed at a  position almost at the point I want.

any suggestions?

RE: Insert Component API

Do you have the View > Status Bar selected?

There is a known problem with components not being inserted correctly at the origin when the Status Bar is disabled. It is covered by SPR #465592. The problem may also extend to API inserted components.

RE: Insert Component API

(OP)
The status bar is on.

After playing with it some, I have realized that the sub-assembly that is being inserted is coming in EXACTLY in the center of the sub-assembly, not the origin of the sub-assembly.
