I have a few parts that I have inserted into the main assembly, and I now want to make them part of one of the sub assemblies. I have the option to 'form a new sub assembly' when I select one or more of the parts, but when I select one of the parts and the sub assembly I want to add them to I get the error 'All components must share the same common parent'. I actually don't want to form a new sub assembly, I just want to add the parts to the sub assembly that is already there, while keeping the mates I made in the main assembly. If I open the sub assembly I can then insert the parts and mate them all up again but I thought there must be a way to do this from the main assembly.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
usually you should be able to click&drag that component in feature tree and drag it all the way on assembly you want it to add to.
the icon should change to something that looks like 180degres arrow. (can't put screen image now)
