I just inserted a part into another part, because I want to do a Combine feature on the two bodies. But I need to position the new part (body) before I do the Combine. How do you position a body in a part? I don't see a "Move Body" command, and obviously I can't use mates because this isn't an assembly. I'm stumped.

OK, so apparently I have to create my mates when I'm first inserting the new part. The Help file sure didn't help to explain this. Thank you.
Edit: I've found a Move/Copy Bodies command that seems to allow creating mates. But I can't choose planes on the inserted part! The whole part appears as just one feature in the Feature Manager tree.
Six months to retirement, then NO MORE SOLIDWORKS! I can't wait.
Wish ya the best
9 months from now you will be looking to do contract SW work. Once hooked you can't get away from your favorite program.
Enjoy retirement.
