Move subassembly parts to main assembly

[EddyVE]

Hi all,


I would like to do something in WildFire 1.0, but I fear that this is impossible.

Suppose I have an assembly called 'Main_Assy'.
This assembly has 3 parts and 2 subassemblies.
The subassemblies also have multiple parts.
It could look something like this:


Main_assy
|--Sub_assy1
| |--sub1_part1
| |--sub1_part2
|--part1
|--part2
|--part3
|--Sub_assy2
|--sub2_part1
|--sub2_part2


Is there a way to achieve the following in a (relatively) simple matter?
I would like to move the parts in the subassemblies directly into the main assembly.
This way, I can get rid of the subassemblies.
The main assembly would only have parts like this:


Main_assy
|--sub1_part1
|--sub1_part2
|--part1
|--part2
|--part3
|--sub2_part1
|--sub2_part2


Of course, my real assembly is much more complicated than this, so if I could do this in a simple way, it would save me much time.


Kind regards
Eddy

dr_gallup,


Thanks! That helps a lot! I justmoved all the parts out of the subassemblies into the main assembly, but now I have to redefine their references because they still refer to the datum planes in the subassemblies (and I want the subassemblies removed).


I also have some assembly features (holes) that I will have to redo. But that will not be a big problem.


Thanksagain !!


Kind regards
Eddy

I just did an 'Edit references' of all the moved parts so that do not refer to the subassemblies anymore. This was most of the time simply a matter of clicking 'Same reference' (strange ...).


And the good thing is that I did not have to redo the assembly features !!
Dr_Gallup, you have just saved me a lot of time and frustration.!!
Thanks a million !!

Kind regards
Eddy
