Question

Is there any way to dissolve the subassembly which we make ?

Dear All,

 

 

Is there any way to dissolve the subassembly in assembly that we assume early to be a part of new sub assembly.

 

 

Thanks ,

    I am not sure I understand the term "dissolve" in your question.

    Are you trying to remove associativity to other constrains?

      Dear Antonius,

      Dissolve means subassembly again be a part of assembly as parts not the subassembly ,with all its references.

      let there are 3 parts with references and then make the subassembly from those 3 parts ,now there is a understanding that i dont want the subassembly and want to resume in parts again without deleting it.

      I hope you understand my problem.

      I guess you are looking for Restructure, which is used to change the level at which components are added to an assembly. It is not difficult, but pay close attention to reference changes to avoid creating circular references.

      It is easier to avoid making circular references than it is to figure out how to fix them when time has past and the reasons for the references are forgotten.

        I'm going to have to look into Restructure. All too often I accidentally move a part into a subassembly when re-arranging the component tree only to be faced with deleting the component from the subassembly and adding it back to the top (current) level. And then I face the other errors that come along with subsequent regens.

        When you accidentally drag and drop a part in to another assembly in the model tree, you are doing a restructure. They just made it easier and also much more accident prone when they allowed drag and drop in the model tree.

        Manish, If you are using Creo 2, have you tried simply dragging the part file in the model tree and dropping it in to the assembly you want it to be in? The restructure command is under the model tab, under the drop down arrow next to Component in the ribbon. It works but it is much easier to drag and drop in the model tree.

        Trying to drag a component up from a lower level seems to always fail with errors.

        I certainly do not want to loose drag and drop of components in the model tree, but it should be a little more sensitive about restructuring a part to a lower level. I've done it and not even noticed it until many sessions later... as in "what the heck is this doing here?"
