Assemble nut to subassembly
If the second reference surface is inside a subassembly, then you can assemble the PEM nut directly to this assembly. In the example, the placement surface for the “Nut/Thread” is inside the SL3_PLATE_INCH.PRT. This part is inside SUBASM.ASM
Now you can check Assemble in subasm.asm to assemble the nut to SUBASM.ASM.
