Find out where the Assembly Axis is located: 1. Insert a NEW PART into the assembly 2.

Give this new part a name of "TEMP" 3. reply NO to the message to position the new part based on the assembly origin 4. right-click on the TEMP part in the tree and add a FIX constraint to lock it' s position Move all the components relative to the Assembly Axis: 5. delete the FIX constraint on the main component 6. add a Coincidence constraint between the Axis of the TEMP part and the Axis o f the main component (use the tree to select both axis systems) 7. UPDATE the assembly to move all the components into position 8. delete the Axis-Axis Coincidence constraint (step #6) 9. add a FIX constraint on the main component (replacing the one deleted in step #5) (verify the FIX constraint includes a lock in the icon, meaning the component is locked at that location) 10. delete the TEMP part, and delete it's FIX constraint 11. save the assembly Now you can use the assembly for drawing views and rendering based on the Assemb ly axis.
