Define new reference coordinate frame for stl export

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am exporting parts from an assembly as stl files so I can use them as visual representations of the components in a kinematic / dynamic software. Based on how the software works I need each stl file's reference coordinate frame origin to be at a specific location and orientation with respect to the part. Is there a way to define a new coordinate frame, something like the UCS (User Coordinate System), and mark it as the reference for the part when exporting to stl? In the past I have done this with other CAD software but I have not been able to do it with Inventor.

Thanks!
