Component Positioning CSYS Manager dialog box

Bulk Edit Options
Bulk Edit Options Specifies whether to assign or unassign a coordinate system for each selected component or subassembly FEM within an assembly FEM.Assign Positioning CSYS to ComponentCreates and assigns a new coordinate system to every selected component or subassembly FEM based on the current position of each.You can then use each coordinate system to control the position and orientation of the component or subassembly FEM to which it is assigned.Delete Positioning CSYS to ComponentRemoves the positioning relationship between each selected component or subassembly FEM and its assigned coordinate system.Note: When you assign a positioning relationship between a component or subassembly FEM and a coordinate system, the position and orientation of the component or subassembly in the assembly are no longer controlled by existing CAD geometry, but by the coordinate system you assign. Upon assigning the coordinate system, a warning message appears to alert you of this change.
CSYS Label
Start Label Appears when Bulk Edit Options is set to Assign Positioning CSYS to Component.Sets the numeric label for the first created coordinate system. Each subsequent coordinate system is labeled using the next available integer.
Component Selection Appears when Bulk Edit Options is set to Assign Positioning CSYS to Component.Specifies which component FEMs or subassembly FEMs within the assembly FEM are assigned coordinate systems.All ComponentsAll FEMs are assigned coordinate systems.Mapped Components OnlyOnly associative FEMs, or FEMs mapped to CAD geometry, are assigned coordinate systems.Unmapped Components OnlyOnly non-associative FEMs, or FEMs that are not mapped to CAD geometry, are assigned coordinate systems.
