It's so incredibly frustrating that there's still no XYZ re-orientation option (to re-orientate a model with the Origin 3D indicator) that we can execute upon import. Importing a model and then having to stack in direct edit features just to flip it right-side-up is such a frustrating workflow. Imagine too, if this problem needed to be addressed for hundreds of imported components...
@@AutodeskMFG "During placement"... but what if that assembly wasn't correctly oriented at the beginning and needs to be reoriented after joining all parts together?
I would redo the constraints. If you re-orient any part or assembly that is already placed the constrains are more that likely going to need to be redone.
@@AutodeskMFG $$$ Comment. I bring in a derived component that I created as a simplified part out of an assembly and the angle of orientation that came in on some of the components were not clean...meaning the angle was like 21.5 degrees ..so I reconstrained at the assembly level by using planes and the XYZ came in nicely. I was getting planes on angles and it was a mess ...even with trying to use the info in this video which was still a great piece of instruction.

thank you, so helpful :)
- works for 22
thank you so much.. This video help me a alot.. :)
We're so glad to hear it 😃 thanks Rizal!
Many thanks
Can't see such an option in Inventor 2021 :/ And to be precise I need to find it for assembly (*.iam). Any help?
assemblies can be placed at any orientation you want during placement with constraints or joints...

Update for 2020?
no 'direct' function on 2023 lol
there is in .IPT not in .IAM
