Question

Changing an assembly level of a component

I have a very simple assembly which I have created to illustrate my problem (see attached picture).

 

My question is fairly simple.....

 

I would like to know if (and how), I can restructure "PART_1.prt" so that it belongs to "TOP_LEVEL.asm" instead of "SUB_ASSY.asm"

 

In other words, I would like to make "PART_1.prt" a level 1 component, rather than a level 2 component.

 

I don't want to delete it from the SUB_ASSY and re-add it to the TOP_LEVEL, as this will destroy the dimensions in drawing of the TOP_LEVEL.asm

 

Best Regards.

You can just drag it out of the subassembly into the level 1 assembly then restructure or reorder if necessary. It will be removed form the sub assembly & added to the main assembly.

Hi Mike,

That seems like a nice idea, but it doesn't seem to work? I'm on WF4.

You should be a ble to drag the component on top of the top assembly icon & then it should deisplay a red arrow. Then from there it will be added to the end of the model tree & you can restructure as you want. I am on WF 5.0 but I dont remember it being any different. Let me know if this doesn't work for you & I can try to send some pictures.
