Hi Scooter Boy,

I'm not sure that this is what you want to do. If you want to create a sub-assembly then you need to make an assembly with thhe components you want in at sub-assembly level and then asemble this into your main assembly. An example might be assembling a welded fabrication into the top level assembly. Your drawing BOM would then only show the part number of the welded fabrication and not the inidividual parts (unless of course you exploded your BOM). You can group compoents in your model tree but they must be in consectutive order. Parts or features in between must be included.

Yes, that

Another way to do this is to create an empty subassy, then insert into your main assy.Now use can use the restructure command under the edit menu. this only allows you to move one component at a time to the new subassy, but it beats trying to place all the components outside of the main assy.





Hope this helps.

One problem with restructure is that a reference is created between the new sub-assembly and the original assembly. If you delete a moved part from the sub-assembly, that reference can not be removed. If you then delete the sub-assembly, Interlink will still see them as related.
