Centering Derived Parts

How would one go about "centering" a derived part.
For example I want this tube "centered" on the origin.
Lets say I don't know the translation values, nor the rotation angle.
How would I center the tube on the point, and angle it so the tube is perpendicular to one of the planes?

Use Transform with Mate Connectors. Create a mate connector on the end of the tube and one on the origin. Then use the Transform command.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI5
