Moving Features Between Components

In assembly models, you can move features between component products within the assembly hierarchy.

  1. In the design tree of an assembly model, drag a feature from one product to another.

    You can drag a feature:

    • From the top-level product to a component product
    • From a component product to the top-level product
    • From one component product to another

    The Move Feature dialog box opens. The selection boxes are populated based on the feature you drag and where you drop it.
