Aligning an Imported File with Fusion 360 Origin

I often hear users of Autodesk Fusion 360, who import neutral format models such as STEP or SAT files, say that the model is not oriented to either the origin center or planes.  It is important to designing to correct this condition to not only make the component easier to edit but also to make it easier to manage inside an assembly.

I covered the Fusion 360 Align tool and its uses in an assembly environment is an earlier article.  Now I want to show you how ease the Align tool can make the task of aligning imported components to the origin center and planes.  Please take a look at this short video covering the process.
