Ok I am trying to design tooling around an imported pressing, I have now created two defined parts by thickening. I have had problems due to not being able to orientate the part to where I would like it in the X,Y,Z planes and at the origin, Is there a way of doing this? Idealy I want it as a v shape to the top plane (Blu and pink parts formimg the V. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Have you tried the transform command? You can move as well as rotate the parts.5 -

In addition to @ravishankar_kalvai suggestion add mate connectors to each part and use 'move by mateconnector' in transform feature.

Took a few transforms and mateconnectors to reorientate it, but now creating the fixture will become a lot easier, thanks.
