Hello.
I have an assembly and I want to make a sub-assembly with 2 parts from my main assembly. Everything is fully defined before I make sub-assembly with the two parts. After making sub-assembly with the two parts, when I expand the sub-assembly (click on the drop down arrow) it shows the under defined symbol '-' for both parts inside the sub-assembly.
Why is it doing this?
Thanks
I'm using solidworks 2017
That's not a workflow that I use, but I believe it's because the components are fully defined within the context of the main Assembly, but they aren't defined in the context of their sub-assembly. Make sense?
Makes sense. Does that mean I would have to fully define the two parts between themselves?
Also, what type of workflow would you use instead?
Thank you for the feedback

I always create my sub-assemblies first, fully mate the components, and then insert it into the main assembly.
