keep constraints when changing assembly

[Walterke]

Imagine the following situation:

assy1:
part1
part2
part3
subassy1

which I want to turn in:
assy 1:
subassy 1
part1
part2
part3

Now, drag/dropping part 1-part 3 from assy 1 to subassy 1 will give me this. But is it possible to keep the constraints between them intact? Since the constraints are between the to part and don't really have anything to do with what assembly they are in, I don't see why this wouldn't be possible.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: You could save assy1 as subassy 1 and import it in assy 1, but I'm looking for a less tedious way. Since the above will cause problems when not being careful because of teamcenter integration.

try to switch off constrains, than put subassembly on top and then try to swtich on again

It's not supported.
Add an Enhanced Request.
This is possible because new assembly constraints doesn't have parent link.

Thank you...

how exactly do you do this? (from Belgium)
