Description
The Add placement command adds a Placement to an active assembly.
A Placement object will be created inside the Parts container of the assembly tree and a related placement item will be placed in the 3D view. It is placed at the assembly's origin and inherits the orientation of the assembly's local coordinate system, if the Assembly object was selected directly.
Left: Tree view. Right: A placement near the assembly origin (shown as file origin here)
The assembly can also be selected indirectly by some item belonging to the assembly. Then the placement is placed at the item's origin and inherits the orientation of this item's local coordinate system.
Valid items are e.g. elements, bodies, vertexes, edges, faces, origins, workplanes, and other placements from either the Tree view or the 3D view.
Usage
