You can move virtual components within the hierarchy of the FeatureManager design tree. Existing references are ignored and the component is renamed.
To move a virtual component:
The software warns you that if you move a virtual component to another assembly, the component will be renamed and links to the original component will be broken.
The Assembly Structure Editing dialog box appears. It informs you that the component's InPlace mate will be deleted and its in-context sketch will go out of context.
The component is renamed to reflect that it is now a component of a different assembly.
