I am working through the trebuchet and when I get to the part where you insert the catapult base assembly and it does not show up. It says to attach it to the origin, but the origin does not show up. It does not appear on the screen at all . Is there something that I am missing?
No idea what a trebuchet is?!? {gasp} How far have we fallen...
It probably depends on your age. I didn't know what that term was either until I saw it on a history channel documentary. But I sure knew what a catapult was.
See that you have View -> Origins is selected to see on screen
Also you can pick the origin in the feature manager tree.
Can you see the part in the feature manager tree. Try clicking any sketch/plane of that part to locate it on the screen. Also make sure you don't have section view on as the part might be coming on the sectioned side.
I have no idea what trebuchet is, but i assume it is some sort of assembly. I am also assumming that you are trying to bring in a part and or (assembly of parts) into a larger assembly. If all the parts are oriented and built from the same orgin, you can simply click ok when bringing in. Or you can go under view then click the orgins buttion to display orgins. then manually bring the part and move it as you are bringing it in until the orgins go over top of one another. Dont know if this helps.
