Joint between component and origin

vid.kok — Sun, 11 Nov 2018 14:25:45 GMT

I am trying to pin a component to the origin. For some reason I am only able to position a joint location of the origin (point O) so that is perpendicular to XY axis.

You'll need to place a Joint Origin and Reorient it- Assemble>Joint Origin>Select target (Origin)>Check Reorient box>Select Axis.

Nope!

The correct thing to do is to open that linked component and fix the problem there.

Likely (hopefully!) it is still in direct modeling mode and the components can simply be moved to the origin.

Then, assuming that there are no moving parts in that assembly the OP should apply a rigid group joint at the root level.

Then grounding the object in the assembly will work as intended.

By treating the symptom rather than cause, I assure a steady supply of "patients". 😉
