duplicating an assembly

I am a newer user of Creo Parametric 6.0 as well as to CAD in general. I have been learning it on my own and have used a number of resources to learn the basic concepts.

I have created an assembly for a clamping fixture. However, I would like to expand the fixture from the current two stations to a total of ten stations.

Is there a way to basically copy (or duplicate) the existing assembly and add four additional assembles to the side to accomplish this task? Or should I start from scratch ?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

There are many options.

Grouping the components will make it easier to copy them as a single unit.

If the spacing is uniform between your clamps, you can pattern the group to place the additional clamps.

Another option: If the clamp assembly is being used in multiple locations or may be used in multiple files, create it as a standalone assembly and bring that into your fixture assembly.
