Description

The Assembly CreateAssembly tool creates a root assembly (Assembly object) in the current document, or a sub-assembly in a pre-existing active assembly. A document can only hold one root assembly.

Each Assembly object is created with an Origin object and an empty Joints container by default.

Usage

  1. If the document already contains one or more assemblies: Activate an assembly.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Create Assembly button.
    • Select the Assembly → Create Assembly option from the menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: A.
  3. A new Assembly object is created, either in the document or in the activated assembly.
