I need an ELI5 for LCSs #511

I am trying to understand why you would choose particular locations for an LCS on an object when assembling. Most tutorials just say "put the LCS here" but never explain why.
Sorry if some of these are general CAD questions. This is my first time using any CAD software and I would like to learn to do things the "right" way the first time. Your tutorials have been really nice and helpful so far! Thank you for making them. |

yes (actually, not only the origins but also the axes).
No, you can re-orient the parts during placement
yes. If you have an axis and a hole, place the 2 LCSs in the 2 parts centered on the axis and the hole
exactly. The particularity of Assembly4 is that you define these "connections "in the part itself, and in the assembly you only make the joining – pairing – of those connections. The idea is that a part "knows" best where it can be connected, since in the real-world you never glue 2 objects at random places. Whether they are edges or holes or faces or midpoints depends on the part. |
