Reordering and Moving Components

You can reorder or move the component in the design tree to modify your component sequence in your model.

This task shows you how to:

Reorder components using Drag and Drop

You can drag any component up and down in the design tree.

  1. Click a component in the design tree and drag the component up or down to the location in the tree where you want that component in relation to other components according to a particular sequence in your model.
    The selected components moved to the new location in the design tree.
  2. You can also drag the component from.

    1. Top-level assembly to lower-level assembly.
    2. Lower-level assembly to current level assembly.
    3. One assembly to another assembly.
    1. Move the components at the same level in one parent assembly.
    2. Move the components to the same destination assembly.
    3. When the components are moved in the hierarchy mates to the components are maintained.

Reorder components from the Context toolbar

You can re-order and move the components in the design manager tree.

  1. In the design manager tree, right-click component you want to re-order or move Reorder Component from the context toolbar.
  2. From the design manager tree or work area, select the component to be re-ordered or moved.
  3. From the design manager tree or work area, select the reference component.
  4. From the component placement , select one of the following
    • Click Before, to place the component before the reference component.
    • Click After, to place the component after the reference component.
    • Click Inside, to place the component inside the reference component. When Inside is selected the hierarchy of the components changes accordingly.
  5. You can also move or re-order the component from.

    1. Top-level assembly to lower-level assembly.
    2. Lower-level assembly to current level assembly.
    3. One assembly to another assembly.
    1. Move the components at the same level in one parent assembly.
    2. Move the components to the same destination assembly.
    3. When the components are moved in the hierarchy mates to the components are maintained.
