Align WCS (or parts) to Absolute Coordinate System
Align WCS (or parts) to Absolute Coordinate System
(OP)
Okay, this may be basic for some and frustrating for others. I want to use the standard views (front, right, bottom, etc.) except the parts I brought into my assembly have their own orientation. I can mate them all to each other easy enough but how do I line up the assembly to the absolute coordinate system so that I can use the standard views?
THANKS!

When Repositioning, you might find the Snap to WCS button helpful.

Thanks for the comments. How to do it is another matter. The absolute coordinate system (ACS) is not viewable so various convoluted steps are required to get from WCS to the ACS. Such as measuring the distance between the WCS and the ACS and then moving the part the required amount. Then, the direction of all three axes need to be measured to see how far they are off in the angular direction.
Thanks again.
