Place iLogic component in assembly

Place a copy of a part or subassembly into the main assembly.

Because the copy is made in the folder of the assembly you are working in, save the assembly before using this command.

  1. On the ribbon, click Assemble tab Component panel , then click the Place drop-down arrow and select Place iLogic Component.
  2. In the file browser, select the component to place. The component displays in a small preview window.
    Note: If you choose a component from one of the Library folders of your project, you can switch between the Library folder and the Workspace folder. Most likely, it is the location of the main assembly.
  3. Click Open.

    The component parameters display in a small dialog box that is like the Parameters dialog box. If the component contains Key parameters, then those parameters are the only ones included in the list. Otherwise, all parameters are included.

    All parameters are initially designated as <Free> in the From Assembly column to indicate that assembly parameters do not drive them. You can change the parameter values manually, and the component updates to show your changes.

  4. Click a drop-down arrow in the From Assembly column to display a list of assembly parameters that are available to drive that parameter.

    These parameters must exist in the assembly, so create any that you need before placing the component.

  5. Click OK after making your changes.

    iLogic starts the Place Component command, so you can place the copied component in the main assembly.
