Joint Origin reference

The Joint Origin command positions a joint origin on a component in Fusion. Joint origins define the geometry used to relate a joint's components.

Design > Assemble > Joint Origin

Mode

Select geometry to define the joint origin.

Joint origin mode	Example
Simple: Creates a joint origin on a face, edge, or point to position components.
Between Two Faces: Creates a joint origin that is centered between two selected faces to position components.
Two Edge Intersection: Creates a joint origin at the extended intersection of two edges to position components.

Planes, Edges, and Snap
