- Select the Assembly tab to display the assembly modelling options.
- Choose from the following:
- New — to create a new assembly.
- From Solids — to create a component in the active assembly from selected solids.
- With Power Features — to create a component in the active assembly using a Power Feature solid.
- Add Component — to add the component to the active assembly using the intelligent cursor.
- Add Component Advanced — to add components with axial attachments to the active assembly, using advanced options.
- Wizard — to create components using the Component Wizard.
- Attachment:
- Attachment — to create relations between components using attachments.
- Manage Attachment — to create new, and edit existing, attachments.
- Distance Explode — to explode the active assembly using a distance parameter.
- Angular Explode — to explode the active assembly using an angular parameter.
- Intersection — to check whether components intersect in the active assembly.
- Manage Source Models — to manage source models containing imported component definitions.
- Refresh Imported Components — to refresh imported components when a component definition has been changed.
- Convert to Local — to convert an imported component definition into a local definition.
- Generate — to create a Power Feature from a component.
- Remove — to remove a Power Feature from the selected component.
- Summary — to specify how Power Features are applied.
- Advanced — to specify intersection properties of Power Features.
Note: Any assemblies that already exist in the model are displayed in the assembly tree and all the buttons on the Assembly tab are active.
