Add component

[Lars1978]

Hi All,

When I'm inserting a new component with the preview window I'd like the component visible in the main view. To do this I checked both check-marks in the assembly constrains window.
I looks like it works fine but...... the component preview in the main window is sort of on the other side of the world. I have to zoom out pretty far to see the component.

The first pic beneath is the view when I inserted the component.
The second pic is the view zoomend out which shows the inserted rectangular bar bar on the top right side.

How can i fix this behavior?

It has to do with the location of the Absolute Origin in the relative Part files. Open the Component part file and see where the Absolute Origin is located relative to the geometric model.

Bear in mind that if you are using the "by constraints" positioning option when adding the component, you can select geometry from the preview window and/or the main window to specify the constraints. For example, if you want to create a face/face touch constraint, you can select one face from the component in the preview window and the other face from another component in the main graphics window. This way, you always have the assembly and the new component in view. You can completely constrain the component with the preview window open, or you can apply enough constraints to get it close to the main assembly then finish the constraints in the main window.
