In Fusion, an Assembly is a collection of components that function as a single design.

Learn about assemblies in Fusion, including the elements of an assembly as well as the recommended workflow.

Joints A Joint is a mechanical assembly relationship that defines the relative position and motion between two components in an assembly .

Constrain geometry to position two or more components relative to each other, reduce degrees of freedom in the assembly , and create a Constraint Relationship between the involved components.

Learn the terminology related to assembly tools, relationships, and objects in the Design workspace in Fusion.

Learn how to configure the Insert feature of a configured component to create a configurable assembly in Fusion. Add the insert feature of a configured component to the Configuration Table In a design that contains a Configured Component: In Configuration Mode, select a Configured Component: In the Browser, click the highlighted Configured Component.

On the Schematic > Document tab toolbar, click Assembly Variant . Or, in the Design Manager, to the right of the Assembly Variant list, click Edit Assembly Variants.

Product variants are a useful way to record a series of similar PCB designs with different components to support different functionality.

When you or a project member change features upstream in the Timeline that are referenced by an Assembly Context, it becomes out-of-sync with the assembly in Fusion.

Click Assembly Variant to manage assembly variants.

This video explains how to activate components to control the affect features have on the assembly structure. Key concepts and best practices include: Effect of activating components Restructure an assembly using drag and drop Length: 4:49

If you activate the Default Component in the assembly , the entire history of the assembly displays in the timeline.

Learn how to activate and edit an existing assembly context in Fusion. You can activate and edit an existing Assembly Context from the Browser or the Timeline, in the context of the assembly or in its own tab.

Learn how to use the Get All Latest, Get Latest Version, and Update External References tools to update distributed designs in an assembly in Fusion. Get All Latest To update the active design, all external components, and derived features that are out-of-date, and out-of-sync assembly contexts in the assembly at once: In the Application bar, click the Out-Of-Date icon .

Auto-explode all levels of the assembly at 3 seconds on the timeline.
