Assemblies -> Arrangments - Necessary Settings?

Assemblies -> Arrangments - Necessary Settings?

Assemblies -> Arrangments - Necessary Settings?

(OP)
I am creating four different arrangements for a large assembly.

Since i am moving some of the parts , i used to set the following parameters before moving. But i really dont know , all of them is strictly necessary.

1. Right click on component -> PArameters -> Individually positioned arrangment section.
2. Right click on component -> Override position.
3. While moving , Settings ->arrangments -> Apply to used.

My question is whether all of the above is necessary to move a component in different arrangements or any one of them is sufficient.

RE: Assemblies -> Arrangments - Necessary Settings?

Well, the only time that you need to use the 'Override Position' is when you're moving Components at the top Assembly level which are in a Sub-Assembly.

Little bit confusing. But i understand it is not necessary.

Is it possible to explain the option "Apply to Used" in move components tool. What does it mean actually.

RE: Assemblies -> Arrangments - Necessary Settings?

When you move a Component, this is how you save that new position in the current Arrangement being "used".
