Edit a Part in an Assembly

General

In the assembly, you can open the part or an subassembly to the same working window to edit.

• The rest of the geometry of the assembly is displayed around the part.
• The feature history of the part selected to edit is displayed in the assembly tree.
• You can edit the existing features of a part and model new ones.

Before selecting the part to edit, or after that, you can hide if necessary from the assembly, parts or sub assemblies that are not needed when editing. The edited part can be seen better this way.
