Create and edit flexible components

Subassemblies are often used several times in a design. Make subassemblies flexible so that each child of the subassembly can solve uniquely from other instances to show each in a different position.

  1. Right-click a subassembly in the graphics window or the browser, and then select Flexible. An icon denoting the flexible state marks the subassembly in the browser.
  2. Continue to select subassemblies and make flexible, as needed.
  3. Click Save to preserve flexible states in the assembly file. Individual component files are not affected.

To remove flexibility, right-click a flexible subassembly, and then clear the check mark.

Note: If a subassembly or part within a subassembly is adaptive, setting flexibility on automatically turns adaptivity off.
