I have a simple body rotation question.

When I use Precision Move to rotate a body, the Orientation of the new part holds the rotation history. To be clear, when I rotate a body by 30 degrees about the Z axis, the new orientation looks like (0, 0, 30).

Is there a way to erase the position history once a body is moved or rotated back to (0, 0, 0)? The purpose would be to change the initial position/rotations of my entire assembly with the use of a single DV. I would set up all my Body Orientations to be something like (0, ROT, 0). When I use copied parts with Precision Move however, I cannot have all my orientations be the same (0, ROT, 0) because the copied parts will go back to their original positions.

Thanks in advance!

There is no "rotation history". There is just location and orientation for every part relative origo. If you right-click-modify on a part and select the Category "Name and Position", you can modify the location and orientation directly.

May I suggest that you create a reference marker on ground, and parameterize both location and orientation of the parts you want to move/rotate to this marker. (Use the f(x) and f(θ) tools).

Then just modify the marker and set the location and orientation to fit your needs.
