Hi everyone,

 

Would appreciate your help.

 

  • I'm in assembly mode, Assembly C.
  • Importing Assembly B.asm (comprises of B1.prt, B2.prt,B3.prt) and Assembly A.asm

Question

Can I import Assembly B.asm as a part? I don't want to accidentally move B1.prt ,B2.prt and B3.prt relative to each other.(a.ka I want assembly B.asm frozen when I import it)

 

Thanks

Sandy

I don't really understand what you mean by "importing" and assembly. If B.asm is a native Creo asm, do you mean assemble B.asm into C.asm?

Hi Hidetaka,

 

Yes. I'm in assembly C and I'm "importing/Assemble" assembly B into assembly C.  Assembly B is now a sub assembly.

I want assembly B to be "frozen", i.e. I don't want its parts (B1,B2,B3) to accidentally move around when I'm in the main assembly C.

You can assemble B.asm into C.asm as you would normally do. As long as you don't edit definition of any components of B, the relative positions between the components of B will remain, i.e., if you edit definition of B.asm, all the components will move together.

 

I think what you want to do is to avoid accidentally edit definition of one of B's components. One way to do that is to export B.asm as a step file, then import it as a part.

In the screen appeared when you import step file, select "Part" as the screenshot above.

Then B will become a part.

I don't know why but sometimes the relative position of parts in B may not be the same as it was. Maybe someone in this forum knows.

 

If you just want to "freeze" B.asm and then "unfreeze" it and work with B, currently I don't know any method to do so.
