Complete the Frame Subassembly

The vertical leg belongs in the Frame subassembly. Because there are no assembly constraints, you can freely drag components between subassembly levels without fear of breaking the assembly structure.

  1. Return to the top-level assembly (Skeleton.iam).
  2. Drag Leg:1 in the Model browser, and drop it below FrameLayout.ipt:1.
  3. Right-click the Frame subassembly in the Model browser and select Edit.
  4. On the ribbon, click Assemble tab Component panel Pattern . In the Model browser or graphics window, select all parts in the subassembly except FrameLayout.ipt.
  5. In the Pattern Component dialog box:
    • Click the Circular tab.
    • Click the Axis Direction button.
    • Expand the Origin folder under Frame.iam and click Y Axis.
    • Enter 4 in the Count edit box.
    • Enter 90 in the Angle edit box.
    • Click OK.
  6. Return to the top-level assembly. Ground Frame.iam if you have not already done so. The assembly should match the one in the following image.
  7. Save the assembly.
Note: Component appearances have been changed for clarity in the following image.
