adjust UCS after create part

[Anonymous]

I like to design my parts as symmetric as possible around the UCS. However, when I start from an assembly and I "create part" in order to induce adaptivity, the UCS of this new part is in a completely random place and I see no way to adjust it without compromising all the adaptive relations I have in the assembly. I would like to use the part UCS to define constrains etc. but the origin is just in a random place

Hi,

When you are going to create new part you have to click to the scene for part UCS center. I think you can select center point from assembly origin folder so your new part will be perfectly aligned. In part use extrude with symmetric direction.

Hi! I think we got a little bit terminology collision here. Inventor UCS is a a coordinate system with a center point and 3 orthogonal planes and 3 logical axes, which can be placed arbitrarily in the space or attached to vertices. What you meant by "UCS" is probably the origin of a given part, right? If you need to have common origin between parts in an assembly, you may consider doing the followings.

1) When inserting a new "adaptive" part, pick the XY plane of the assembly.

or

2) Use skeletal modeling workflows instead of in context modeling workflows (adaptive). For skeletal modeling workflow, you will be creating all component geometry (or major geometry) within a part in the form of sketches or body geometry. Then you can push the geometry to individual parts in an assembly.

Many thanks!
