Change part origin plane

[Anonymous]

How does one change the coordinate system to line up the xy plane with a

One doesn't in the part file. You can however put the part in an
assembly file and the constrain the part to the origin planes of the
assembly.

Thanks Hal,
Now I know why it is so hard to do.
