Inserting Several Components in Succession

You can select several components at a time and click in succession to place them in different locations.

To insert several components in succession:

  1. Do one of the following to open the PropertyManager:
    • Create a new assembly document by clicking New (Standard toolbar) or File > New.
    • In an existing assembly, click Insert Components (Assembly toolbar) or Insert > Component > Existing Part/Assembly.
    Previously saved documents that are currently open appear under Part/Assembly to Insert.
    Do not pin the PropertyManager. When inserting components in succession, you can insert only one instance of each component.
  2. Under Part/Assembly to Insert, do one of the following:
    • Ctrl + select several components from the list.
    • Click Browse. In the dialog box, Ctrl + select several components and then click Open.
    In the graphics area, a preview of the first component is attached to the pointer.
