can i change the location of the point of origin ?
hello,
can i change the location of the point of origin relative to an assembly ? i want to set the point of origin at the center of the assembly. and not as it is now at the right.
regards

no, but you can change the location of the assembly so it's centered about the origin.

no, you need to reset the position of the assy. try picking the first part in the assy and change it to 'float'. move to the origin. if other parts are mated to the planes or origin of the assy, they will need to be fixed.

depending on what you are trying to accomplish, you may be able to get by with inserting a reference coordinate system at the desired location.
