Dissolving a Sub-assembly
You can dissolve a sub-assembly into individual components, thereby
moving the components up one level in the assembly hierarchy.
To dissolve a sub-assembly:
In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click
the sub-assembly you want to dissolve, and select Dissolve
Sub-assembly. You can also select the sub-assembly icon and click
Edit, Dissolve
Assembly.
The components become components of the immediate
parent assembly, and the sub-assembly is removed. The assembly document
itself is not deleted from the
folder where it is stored.
See Effects
of Assembly Structure Editing for effects on mates, component
patterns, assembly features, equations, and explode steps.
