Create New Subassembly 1

[BodyBagger]

Hello all,
I know you can create a new subassembly by selecting parts in the assembly tree and then doing a RMB on the last selected item and then going to form new subassembly here. Is there some way to do this by selecting the items in the assembly instead of the the assembly tree. This would be MUCH easier.

Thanks

BodyBagger,

I still am on SW2007 here. Is there any way to click on something and get the sub-assembly rather than the part?

If not, you are clicking on the assembly tree.

The assembly tree works fine for me. If your file naming is not intelligent, try sticking your items in folders, and then name the folders.

AFAIK, a new sub-assy cannot be created from within the graphics area.

FYI, the last selected item (in the FM) does not have to be the one RMB'd. Any one of the selected items can RMB'd.

You can select a bunch of parts in the graphics area and select Isolate. Does that help with creating subassys?

CBL, if I RMB on anyone other than the last one, then they all deactivate (no longer highlighted) except for the one I RMB on.

Strange ... I believe I've always been able to click on any. The highlight may go away, but all the parts are moved into the new assy.

This might seem like a silly question but what is RMB?

Thx
