Inserting and Positioning a Part into a Part
Inserting and Positioning a Part into a Part
(OP)
I have successfully been able to insert a part into another part but have trouble positioning it. I can either rotate it or translate it but not both. Is there any trick to this?

I am able to insert a part in to another part file by going to the "Insert" drop down menu and selecting "Part". From there, I can rotate the part by entering values, or I can move it by selecting points, but I can only do one or the other. Seems pretty odd to me. Must be something simple I am overlooking.
