Under main assembly ,I have subassembly which created with one part(default constraint used) like

Engine .asm (main assm)

piston.asm(sub asm)

piston ring .prt (part-under subasm piston.asm)

I want to pull out piston ring.prt from piston.asm (sub asm) & want to make it separate part direct under main asm (engine .asm ) becuse I dont want piston ring.prt place under piston.asm (sub asm).

Note:

In proe we have an option to make sub asm from individual ppart ( move to assembly option), I am looking vice versa

Haris,

Restructure option as in thread given by Dale will help you. Using restructure you can select the components and define target assembly.

Quite honestly, I would see if the carburetor has dependencies... I just move it down until it is at the end. You know which object has a dependency because you cannot move the assembly below it. Resolve the dependency and continue to move the assembly down.

Then add a new carburetor and delete the assembly. I find the re-route routing a painful one when it comes to guessing what it really wants.

That's the problem. It has a bazillion dependencies. I was trying to avoid all the rerouting and re-defining. It seems like it would be easy for PTC to just make the "insert here" functionality work when trying to pull a sub-assembled part into it's parent assembly. It just doesn't make sense why it HAS to try to put it at the very end of the parent assembly when re-structuring.
