Solid Body "Made Components" Orientation

Hi,

 

I'm currently using the "Make components" feature to convert solid bodies into parts. This works great, but we use this method to construct angular roof structures, and after the parts have been made the parts have angular relationships to the .ipt files UCS co-ordinates. It would be very useful if I could align the longest edge of the part (Which is a timber truss) with the x axis in the model space and "lay" the plank flat on the X-Y plane.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks

I wasn't sure which forum this issue best suited so I posted in both Inventor forums. A quality answer has been provided on the other thread.
