Joint to ground?
Sure, make the top level Origin visible and create a Joint between your component and the Origin Point.

You can create a revolute joint to the root component origin, which would allow you to create the relationship I think you want.

Hi,
Why do you need a Joint to the ground? Shouldn't you simply ground the object then manipulate it?
Cheers

the old "Ground" is now "Pin", and there is a new "Ground to Parent" (anchor icon), which just implements the solution in message 2 of this thread (creates a rigid joint to the parent's origin). This allows the relationship to survive the Insert operation (the old Ground was stripped on insert). Makes it easier to create rigid sub-assembly.
