Been using 7.5 for the past few months and for the most part, I've gotten used it to. Our office still uses a lot of legacy functions but we're slowing exploring some of the newer features and some are actually really nice.
One thing that bugs me though, and I'm not sure if it's been removed or if I'd just not using it properly, but I can no longer orient the WCS (CSYS of Object) to a solid body when it's a component of an assembly. I often used it in the past for measuring clearances, arbitrarily moving/rotating curves/compenents/etc and a bunch of other things.
Now, if I want to use that function, I have to either create a linkbody, at which point I can orient the WCS to a face/edge/etc and then delete the linkbody... or I can extract a basic curve from the face/edges and use those to position the WCS.
Am I doing something wrong or was this function removed on purpose? Any way to get it back? It's sort of a pain to have to jump through all those hoops to be able to use it like I did before.
