Copy Component with a Product

Copy Component with a Product

Copy Component with a Product

(OP)
I know how to pattern a component within a Product, with the "Reuse Pattern" command.  However, if I have a component already placed within a Product and I want to copy it to multiple places (Change 1 of the 3 constraints)within the assembly, can I do this.  

Example, I have an o-ring within a groove.  It has a coincidence constraint and a Contact constraint.  The contact contraint can remain unchanged, but I need to change the coincidence constrainst for each instance.

Thanks,

Are you looking for Multi-Instantiation?  It's the last icon in the Product Structure toolbar

RE: Copy Component with a Product

RyanRun - If you copy/paste a component the constraints are copied as well.  Double pick the constraint - reconnect in the constraint dialogue box - select the new item to constrain to - select Ok.  Item should move to the new constraint.

Regards,
Derek
