Create a derived component within an assembly with Component Derive

1. On the ribbon, click Assemble tab Productivity panel Component Derive .
2. Click to select the component to derive into a new component.
3. In the Create Part or Create Assembly dialog box, enter a name for the new component.
4. Click Save to create the new component and close the dialog box.

   You can edit the newly created derived component.

This command generates the derived part or assembly using default options, except for assembly representations: the command uses the active design view of the base component, and positional and level of detail representations in the derivation.
