Assembly Modeling

23.7. -After selecting the 'Housing' we have to locate it in the assembly; when we

move the mouse the part's preview follows it. What we want to do is to locate the

'Housing' at the assembly's origin. If you cannot see the assembly's origin (which

is hidden by default), turn it on by selecting the menu "View, Hide/Show, Origins"

(this can be done while you are adding a component). The reason to locate the

'Housing' at the assembly's origin is to have the 'Housing's planes and origin

aligned with the assembly's planes and origin. To add the 'Housing' AND align it

with the assembly's origin, click the OK button or move the mouse pointer to the

assembly's origin and click on it. The cursor will have a double origin icon next to

it.

~ If the 'Housing' is mistakenly added using the "Forge" configuration, do not

\~) worry, it can be changed. Select the "Housing" part in the FeatureManager,

select the "Machined' configuration from the pop-up toolbar and accept the

change with the green OK checkmark.
