How to mark an object's original position on autodesk inventor publisher?

[tombrownill]

Hi I have created a model on autocad which I have imported into autodesk inventor publisher...for my project I have to simulate an object's assembly and subsequent dissassembly. But to begin with my model is assembled so i have exploded it and now I want to put it back together - however I can't get the program to remember the position each component was originally in so when i try and move each component back it's all over the place and looks awful. Is there a way to mark an object's intial location so that i can move it back to exactly that place?

Any help is very much appreciated

Thanks

Select a component and you should see the "Restore Home" command active in the ribbon. This will take the component to the initial home position. Hope this helps.
