Inserting multiples of the same part in an assembly at once
Inserting multiples of the same part in an assembly at once
(OP)
I am making a deck. I am inserting nails that I created into my assembly. The thing is that I need to insert a lot of them. Is there an option to insert say 10 or 20 nails at a time instead of 1 at a time?

Use a Linear Pattern in the assy.
-or-
Create the holes for the nails in the lumber at the part level, and then use a Feature Pattern to locate the nails.

I designed a backyard shed using SolidWorks. I wish I had known about the weldment feature. I don't think it works well enough for welding, but it should work very well for stud and joist frames. This will make it easier to pattern your screws, among other things.
