Model a New Part or Subassembly in an Assembly
General
Model a new part or an assembly in the assembly.
- Save the model to the archive or create a local part of it.
Create a new part or subassembly in an assembly
- Select the context-sensitive function New.
- Define the document data in the dialog box:
- Select the document type: Part or Assembly.
- Enter a name for the document.
- Create a document to be saved in the archives (a link part) - Confirm the archives as the saving location of the document, and Add to the archives. Fill in the archives data.
- Select OK.
- Model the part or assembly.
- Exit the part or assembly editing view to the assembly
- Select the function OK, if you want to save the model.
- The subassembly's thumbnail is updated.
- The assembly's weight calculation is updated automatically, if you have earlier performed the weight calculation of the assembly.
- Select the function Exit, if you want to discard the changes you have made to the model.
- Select the function OK, if you want to save the model.
Note:
- If necessary, you can hide parts or subassemblies from the assembly that are not required during the modeling of the part. The reference geometry required in modeling a new part is more visible this way.
- Geometric constraints are automatically created for a new part, when you add a new sketch to a face or a line of a reference geometry as a first phase of the part.
