Inserting multiple instances of a component in Assembly
Inserting multiple instances of a component in Assembly
(OP)
Is it possible to insert multiple components in Assembly using Insert Components? For instance if I want to add five instances of a part into an assembly? Would speed me up a lot!
Thank you!
Thank you!

Copying using a feature pattern is probably the best way to go. If your pattern changes the number of instances then the resulting copied components that follow the pattern are likewise changed in number.
If you do not have a patterned feature to use then look in the Help file for "Copy with mates". This is perfect for copying things such as a washer/bolt/nut combination onto multiple locations where these locations are not part of a pattern.

Also Copy With Mates is useful.
Strategic use of Hole Wizard Holes/Feature Driven Patterns for fastener, etc placement is your best solution.
