A Browse for Folder dialog box lists your network connections and
directories.
3 In the Browse for Folder dialog box, specify the desktop\tutorial folder to be
your working directory.
Choose OK.
NOTE If you have installed Mechanical Desktop in a different location, browse
through your directories to locate the correct folder.
All drawing files in the desktop\tutorial folder are listed under Part and Subas-
sembly Definitions on the External tab.
4 In the desktop\tutorial folder, double-click the PLIERT definition to insert an
instance into the drawing, responding to the prompts.
Specify new insertion point: Specify a point below PLIERB
Specify insertion point for another instance or <continue>: Press
ENTER
You can also right-click the definition in the Catalog and choose Attach.
The pliert.dwg file is attached to the current assembly, and an instance is
inserted into the current assembly. In the Assembly Catalog, PLIERT is dis-
played on a white background.
