Trying to find the best way to quickly and efficiently create an assembly with as little understanding of the intra-relations amongs components.


Have a sub-asm that's used in multiple places. Assuming the same p/n is used, what is, if any,a best practice to bring in the sub-asm as a component using mate by default? Open to any suggestions. Thanks.


The reason to choose mate by default instead of coordinate is that it's more user friendly and efficient to build an entire system, but mate by default seems to work if there's only ONE where-used and the location/orientation doesn't change. Using mate by coordinate will require user to pick from a list of multiple coordinates.
