SUB-ASSEMBLY SHUFFLE
SUB-ASSEMBLY SHUFFLE
(OP)
Read this v e r y s l o w l y ...
I had an assembly containing 2 sub-assemblies. One of thos sub-assemblies contained a sub-sub-assembly. I dragged the sub-sub-assembly out of the sub-assembly. Now I have an assembly containing 3 sub-assemblies.
But in order to drag the sub-sub-assembly out of the sub-assembly - I had to insert a random part in my assembly (at the bottom of the "tree")... so I could drag the sub-sub-assembly out, & drop it below that random part. Then I deleted the random part.
Holding the ALT key down to re-arrange components in an assembly don't woork so good when all the components are sub-assemblies.
Anybody have a better way to do what I did?

And then I would have to re-mate everything... right?

RE: SUB-ASSEMBLY SHUFFLE
My way would have required you to create new mates...

RE: SUB-ASSEMBLY SHUFFLE
Was it just to reorder them in the main assy?
The easiest way would be to undo some of the mates to reorder. A part or subassy can not be reordered before a part or subassy it is mated to.

I never dragged it to the top of my feature tree the first time thru.
