Completing Assemblies | 505
In most cases, constraints are maintained with the parts and subassemblies
that you move. In the event that a constraint cannot be maintained, a warn-
ing message is displayed.
NOTE Instances can be lost if you restructure them up the assembly hierarchy
where multiple instances of the same definition exist.
Open the assembly file pullyasm.dwg from the desktop\tutorial folder, and
practice using assembly restructure.
To restructure an assembly hierarchy
1 Expand the hierarchy in the Browser so you can see all of the components.
Browser Right-click PULLYASM and choose Expand.
2 Select a part name to activate the part.
To select more than one part, hold down CTRL as you select.
To select all parts within a range, hold down SHIFT as you select the first and
last part in the range. All components in between are automatically selected.
3 Drag the selected parts up or down in the assembly structure.
Use a left-click to drag your selection to a location and release the mouse.
Use a right-click to drag your selection to a location and release the mouse to
display a context menu with options Move Here, Copy Here, Create Subas-
sembly Here, and Cancel.
If the assembly tree is too long to scroll conveniently, right-click the compo-
nent and choose Cut, scroll to the new location, and Choose paste.
If a part cannot be moved logically, an error icon is displayed.
When restructure is activated, the cursor changes to look like a shadow of the
original part name.
4 Drop the part in a valid destination.
Valid destinations are highlighted as you move the cursor over them.
The part is restructured within the assembly, and the assembly is updated.
