Assembly Dimensioning

Okay, so I have a part (cast), and I have the runner to the cast, and I
have all of the cooling tubes made, and now I want to set them in an
assembly the way they are, compared to the runner/cast. Is there any
way, I can just type in the dimensions for the cooling to move (each
pipe is a different solid), but I plan to "hide" the runner, so I can
get the cooling by itself. All I really need is to know if you can
manually enter in dimensions, like x,y,z. Also, if I could pick a
point on the tube, and rotate the tube around that point at lets say,
10 degrees. All help would be appreciated, I'm somewhat new to SW, so
thanks!

You might try mating them to an envelope part consisting of a sketch.
Then when you move the envelope part all the parts mated to it will
move with it in x, y, and z.

Just my 2 cents.
