IPTs lost within IAM

Recommended Posts

I am frustrated as can be, since i've placed two parts into an IAM file, and there has to be like 5000000000000 inches between the parts, because i can "find in window" the parts one at a time, but THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR EACHOTHER

 

PLEASE HELP

The answer to your problem is this:

1. located the ipt in your model tree

2. right click the ipt file and select iproperties

3. click on the occurances tab (second to last)

4. change the x y and z values to 0.

 

You're ultimately changing the UCS location where the file is inserted.

 

Typically, I insert my first part (weather its an engine block, trans, whatever) and "0" that part. Next I ground that part so it'll never move, and finally constrain all other parts to it.
