Trying to create an assembly from an assembly

David Grieser Sep 15, 2016 10:30 AM

I have an assembly with 30 parts, so it is getting hard to organize. I want to select 5 of these parts in this assembly to become a sub assembly.

How can i select 5 parts from an assembly and make them its own assembly?

...without having to recreate the 5 part sub assembly....

Thanks!
