Assembly Section

The Assembly section of the action bar provides a command for creating assemblies.

This page discusses:

Flyout for Linear Component Pattern
Flyout for Gear Mate
Flyout for Interference Detection


	Create External References Creates the external references between items in a product. See Creating External References.
	Insert New Component Inserts a new empty model as a component of the current model. See Inserting New Components.
	Insert Inserts an existing product as a component of a current product. See Inserting Existing Components.
	Linear Component Pattern See Flyout for Linear Component Pattern.
	Make Component Creates a new product from the selected feature and keeps the new product as a component in the current product. See Making Components from Bodies.
	Replace Component Replaces an existing component with a new component. See Replace Component.
	Symmetry Creates symmetry mates between two components about a plane or planar face. See Symmetry.
	Mate Positions components relative to one another. See Add Mate.
	Smart Mate Allows you to drag a component to another component and automatically create fully constrained mates. See Creating Mates Using Smart Mate.
	Gear Joints Allows rotational movement between two entities to be proportional to one another. See Flyout for Gear Mate.
	Copy With Mates Copies a component in an assembly and includes its mates. See Copy Component with Mates.
	Mirror Creates a mirror version of a selected component. See Creating Mirror Instances of a Component.
	Interference Detection Identifies interference within assemblies and between components. See Flyout for Interference Detection.
	Sketch to Components Converts the sketch objects to assembly components and sketch constraints to mates. See Converting Sketch Objects to Components.
	Mechanism Converts a Physical Product or component assembly into a mechanism to simulate motion using the Kinematics Player. See Creating Mechanisms.
	3D Contact Create a 3D contact between multiple bodies. See Creating 3D Contacts.
	Kinematics Player Creates animated motion from your Physical Products and component assemblies. See Previewing the Motion of Mechanisms.

Flyout for Linear Component Pattern


	Linear Component Pattern Creates a linear pattern of components. See Creating Linear Component Patterns.
	Circular Component Pattern Creates a circular pattern of components. See Creating Circular Component Patterns.

Flyout for Gear Mate


	Gear Joints Creates a rotational movement mate with two circular entities to be proportional to one another. See Gear Joint.
	Rack Joints Creates a rotational movement mate with a line entity to be proportional to one another. See Rack and Pinion Joint.
	Cable Joints Creates a rotational movement mate with a curved line entity to be proportional to one another. See Cable Joint.

Flyout for Interference Detection

Flyout for Interference Detection


	Interference Detection Identifies interference within assemblies and between components. See Interference Detection.
	Clearance Check Checks for clearance between components. See Clearance Check.
	Hole Alignment Checks for alignment between holes. See Hole Alignment.
