Need to make a subassembly with current parts

[jeblack]

Is there a way to make an assembly and "drag" the contents from the top level assembly to the sub and keep the constraints? I have an assembly with everything constrained and now I need to take a few of the pieces "15 or so" and move them into there own assembly. I know how to do this by making a new assembly and doing the assembly process again from scratch, but I would like to just drag all the parts as one into the assembly. I know SolidWorks can do this but I can't seem to get solid edge to work. I will keep trying but any help would be great.

Hi,

you can use the 'Transfer' function to move the parts in
question to a new subassembly. Not all constraints will be
preserved, however.

thanks, that worked.
