Greeting-

I have a sub-assembly (a) within another sub assembly (b), and I need to relocate this out place it at the same level as assembly (B).  How best to do this as drag and drop don't work.

thank you

My guess would be that you have something in your top level assembly constrained to it.  Remove these constraints, move the sub-assembly, and recreate the needed constraints.

For whatever reason, CREO will not allow a sub-assembly or part to be relocated up when there are constraints in the upper level assembly referencing the sub-assembly or part.

There is always more to learn.

Thanks Kevin, for some reason I was able to drag and drop in out of the assembly, after a few attempts and it kept the constraints as well.
