Quick Start

There are two ways to activate a component: Double-click the component's
browser node, and using the Activate Component command.
Adding solid geometry to the active component
There are two main ways to add geometry to the body of a component. The
first is by creating new features, such as Extrude, Revolve, Loft, and so on.
The second is by dragging or copy/pasting bodies from other components.
The primary method to create geometry is using feature commands. See Create
a Single Body on page 75 for information about how to use features to create
geometry in a component.
Next, you can create geometry in a body by re-using body geometry from
other components. You can drag a body from one component to another
(which has the effect of moving the body from one to another), or you can
select a body in a component, use the Copy Command to make a copy, and
then the Paste command to copy that body to a different owning component.
Creating new instances of a component
To create a new instance of a component in your design, use the Copy and
Paste commands. select an existing component, choose Copy from the context
