Mating to origin

    When installing the first part into an assembly, you can automatically
    coincide the origins of the first part with the assembly. Is there a way to
    re-fix that part so that their origins are coincident once you set it to
    float?

    TIA

    drag the part into the assy but instead of letting go in the design area
    drag to the origin in the FMT and let go. You will see it jump to origin to
    origin.

    right click to float. right click to fix

    Mate the 3 main plaes together (i.e. Front with Front, Right with
    Right, and Top with Top). Now delete those mates. Then RMB the
    component (Tree or Graphics Area) and choose Fix.
