Dragging Components
to Edit the Assembly Structure
To reorganize components in sub-assemblies
by dragging components:
Drag the component icon in the FeatureManager
design tree, and drop it on the icon for the destination assembly (either
the top-level assembly, or a sub-assembly at any level of the hierarchy).
If the destination assembly is expanded,
you can also drop the icon in the component section of the destination
assembly. As you drag, watch for the
pointer.
To move multiple components at once, hold
Ctrl as you select the icons.
All the components selected for a move operation must be from the same
level of a single assembly.
If any components or features will be deleted
as a result of the move, the Assembly
Structure Editing dialog box appears, with a list of the affected
items.
If you are removing the last component of
a sub-assembly, the empty sub-assembly is left in the FeatureManager design
tree. If you want to move the last component up a level and remove the
empty sub-assembly at the same time, dissolve the
sub-assembly instead.
You can also drag components to change their order
within an assembly.
