Hello guys :)
I have a problem in dealing withe the coordinate system in abaqus
when I sketch the section I want in the sketch module I set a specific point of the section at the origin
but when I use this sketch in the part module the position of the section changes.
how cn prevent this from happening, I want the position with refrence to the coordinates system to be the same in all modules and sketch ports
Notice the picture below for more illustration

In the 3D room create a CSYS in the origin first, so you can see where it is.
In the sketcher go into the sketcher option and reassign the origin of the grid to that CSYS.
 
Sorry are you sure that option is available? , I can't Find it!
