[Feature Request] Add base planes (Top, Front, Right) to Assemblies

roryaronson

It is annoying to have my assembly floating/rotating freely in the assembly space. It would be nice if I could mate it to a Top, Front, or Right plane like the ones in Part Studios. This would also allow me to use the base plans for (future) mirroring of Parts for symmetrical assemblies.

@roryaronson, You can use Origin to fix your assembly as per your requirement. Kindly refer below video for more detail.

Thanks for the tip! This will work for now, though I think having planes would still be useful (at least a little more intuitive)

If you modelled one of your initial parts around the planes in the Part Studio, then when you assemble it in, don't drag it around on screen when the Insert dialog is open, just press the green check mark on the dialog and the part will position on the origin in the same location as it was modelled. You can then fix it, and add all your other parts to it.
