Ground and Root Component

Grounds a selected component within an assembly structure so that its origin is aligned with the origin of the assembly.

In a single operation the selected component is:

• Moved, grounded, and aligned to the origin of the assembly.
• Repositioned as the first browser node in the assembly browser.

1. On the ribbon, click Assemble tab Productivity panel Ground and Root Component.
2. Click to select the component to move and ground.

Any components that are constrained to the selected component maintain their constraints.

Note: If the selected component has existing assembly constraints that prevent it from being moved to and aligned with the assembly origin, additional conflicting constraints are applied. Your assembly displays a red Recover indication. The component is grounded and repositioned within the assembly browser node structure.
