Copy w/mates to different assembly?
Copy w/mates to different assembly?
(OP)
I have two similar assemblies. One is missing some parts.
I can drag the missing part from its line in the deluxe assembly's feature tree to the top of the spartan assembly's feature tree, and the part ends up in the right place in the model, but with no mates.
Is there a way to also drag the mates from one assembly to another?

Or you could add Mate References to the part before inserting into the new assy.

It all depends on where you are in development and what your filing convention requires.

They diverged mostly because two different people are working on them, and we're inexpert in different ways.
