Save assem part in position
Save assem part in position
(OP)
Does anyone know how to save the position of an assembly part within the part file external to the assembly?
For example, I have positioned a part in an assembly. I would now like to have that location stored within the part so that no matter which assembly I open it in, it goes back to the same location relative to the absolute coordinates.
I'm sitting in an NX training class and we can't seem to figure it out.

2) similar to EWH's proposal, but, make the component the work part. Save a Datum Csys in the Assembly's 0;0;0.
Then when using the component in a different assembly , use constraints to align the component Csys to the assembly's Csys.

It might be easier to just re-model it in installed condition so it will come in in the same position in every assembly.
