Creating Assembly Connections



Flash Example

Cannot start flash properly.

Creation of assembly links, a part is edited in a simultaneously open file




You can create assembly links between assembly files and files containing parts. If an object connected with an assembly link is changed, the change is copied into all files where the object is present. On the other side, it is not necessary to define assembly links whenever you work with more solids in one space (in one file).


In this example, the assembly link is created, the part is open simultaneously and then edited. After switching back to the assembly, the changes are automatically created for the corresponding solid. For more information about assemblies, see 3D Assemblies.
