Place component in a model origin

Ezekiel12 — Thu, 30 Nov 2017 07:31:04 GMT

Ok, I have an assembly and placing existinh components in it.... What is the fastest way to move Origin to Origin if I place it wrong?

Thx,

Matt

Joints are the best way to align and place components. Origins may change their relative position to a body depending on how the body/component was moved.

I agree with @etfrench.... you most likely want to learn about joints, joint origins, and how to use them.

HOWEVER -

Your specific question is slightly different. If you really want to move an inserted (child) origin back to the master (parent) origin, then use Move > Point to Position as shown below.

Bah! Apologies for the operator error. As shown below 🙂

Thanks for the headsup, @lichtzeichenanlage
