Ahh, what Amit was saying is a visualization thing that doesn't change the model, you actually are looking to change the model.

Are you trying to animate or drag/rotate a part that is assembled as if it it moving or did you assemble the part incorrectly and want to correct it's orientation in the assembly?

If you assembled something and you need to fix it's orientation, simply select the part and edit definition to correct the assembly constraints.

If you want parts to "move" like they function, you will need do something like Video Link : 4462

It's a creo 1 demo, but I don't think much has changed.

Hello Kevin,

You hold down the Middle Mouse Button and move the mouse around to rotate the model.

Thanks,

Amit

    ‌Thanks for responding, but when you do that you rotate around the object. Not the object itself, I am trying to assemble a robot. I have some of the parts in already and when you click the middle mouse button it rotates around the models not one specific model. Even if I select just one.
