Select the parent component to nest the new component under in the Browser.

External checkbox (Hybrid designs only)

Check External to create a new design and insert it as an external component. Uncheck to create an Internal Component directly in the active design without creating a new design.

When External is unchecked, Design Type is disabled and the following settings are available:

• Component Type: Specifies the internal component type.

  • Standard : Creates an internal standard component.
  • Sheet Metal : Creates an internal sheet metal component.

• Component Name: Specifies the name of the internal component component.

• From Bodies: Enable to create a separate component for each selected body.

  Note: Hybrid designs can contain internal and external components. By default, Assembly designs can only contain external components. To create internal components in an Assembly Design, enable modeling tools.
