Exploded Views - Subassembly

Community,

 

I have an assembly that has a sub-assembly.  I would like to move the entire sub-assembly (keep all the components together) from the main assembly, all within the exploded view environment. When I try to merge components, I get two colors, and I do not want that.  Can this be done?  Thanks in advance.

That works.  Thanks.

To move a subassembly in explode either select the subassembly from the model tree or use query select (right-click) to select it from the graphics window.  If this is not a true subassembly, but a group of parts, you can either hold Ctrl and select all of the parts and move together or move one and copy its position to the rest.

There is always more to learn.

It is a true subassembly.  I tried selecting it in the model tree, but nothing happened.  I will try it again this morning.  I know that I can use copy geometry (surfaces) and merge all the surfaces, but I was trying to find a quicker way.  Thanks.
