What happened to "orient"?

I'm running Pro/E 2001 and just noticed that the "orient" assembly routine is no longer available. Is there a similar command that replaced orient? I can't seem to find it.

Here's some background on what I'm trying to do. Basically, I'm trying to assemble a ring with some features into my model. I've used "mate" and "insert" to constrain the ring, but it's in the wrong orientation. It needs to be rotated 180 degrees so the features line up with other parts. With past versions of Pro/E, I've used "orient" to get the proper orientation. How do I do this with Pro/E 2001?

Thanks,

Haf

In Pro/E 2001 you can use now either Mate, or Align to orient a component. After that click in the next column (under Offset)and select from the menu "Oriented" in your case. There's also "Offset" and "Coincident" in that menu.

Please ignore the question above, as I finally figured out how to orient. In case anyone's interested, orient now shows up as an option when you mate or align two planes. It used to be a separate assembly constraint, which is why I had trouble finding it.
