Opening Components from Assembly Documents

While you are editing an assembly, you can open its associated component documents (parts or subassemblies) in their own windows. Any changes that you make to the components automatically update the assembly.

To open a component from an assembly document:

In the assembly window, do one of the following:
  • In the FeatureManager design tree, click or right-click the component and click Open Part or Open Subassembly .
  • In the graphics area:
    • Click or right-click a part and click Open Part .
    • Click or right-click a subassembly, and then, on the Open Part drop-down, select the subassembly.
The component document opens in a separate window.
