placing grounded parts in an assembly
placing grounded parts in an assembly
(OP)
What is it that you go in and change so that when in an assembly, and adding a part from the pathfinder you do not have to specify any relationships, just choose the arrow tool and SE grounds the part, even if its not the first part placed?

OR
Hold down control and drag the part from the pathfinder into the graphics area. That will place the part where you let go of the mouse button in the graphics area. It will have no relationships. You must ground (one click) it or mate it to fully restrain it.
The first part in is automatically grounded at the assembly origin.

That little line is just my signature that goes on the end of all my posts. The FAQ was written by Round Table members to help new and experienced users understand some of the sight policies. But, to avoid potential insult in the future, I'll try to make it look more like a signature line rather than a warning. Thanks.
