    Question Realignning an axis

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Help i am doing a assembly and the whole thing has moved so that it is not sitting straight on its axis. Can anyone tell me how to get it back so that I can finish working on this.

    Your first part placed in the assembly is automatically grounded.
    If you un-ground it it can be moved around.
    Add Mate-Flush constraints between the XY, YZ, XZ planes of the logical base part and the assembly planes.

    That is just what I did. I had to un-ground so that i could move it but I see my mistake. I will try to do that in the morning when i get back to work and see how that goes.

    Thank you.
