You can create a subassembly object by adding it to your drawing from a tool palette.
Once selected in the tool palette, you can add the subassembly to an assembly baseline, or to a subassembly attached to an assembly. You can also just add the subassembly to your drawing and not associate it with an assembly. This is referred to as a detached subassembly.
To create a subassembly from a tool palette
- Display the Tool Palettes window.
Click Home tab
Palettes panel
.At the Command prompt, enter toolpalettes. - On the Tool Palettes window, click the desired subassembly.
- Do one of the following:
- To add the subassembly to an assembly, select a marker point on an assembly in the drawing.
- To add the subassembly to the drawing, and not associate it with an assembly, press Enter then click a location in the drawing.
The subassembly name is displayed under its parent assembly in the Assemblies collection in the Prospector tree.
If you subsequently move the subassembly from its original insertion point in an assembly, you can return it to that point by clicking Clear Offset in Assembly on the Modify Subassembly panel, or by entering SubassemblyClearOffset at the command line.
The Clear Offset in Assembly button is only enabled if a selected subassembly is part of an assembly, and was moved away from its original insertion point.
