Assembly Section

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

This page discusses:

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


	Plane Creates reference planes, axis, points, and coordinate systems to use inconstructing mechanisms.. See Flyout for Plane.
	Create External References Creates the external references between items in a product. See Creating External References.
	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.
	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.
	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.

Flyout for Plane


	Plane Creates planes to reference during operations such as sketching, creating a section view, and designating a neutral plane for a draft feature. See Reference Plane.
	Axis Creates axes to reference during operations such as revolving and circular patterns. See Reference Axis.
	Point Creates points to reference during operations such as specifying distance and arcs. See Reference Point.
	Axis System Creates a reference axis system relative to the position of a global coordinate system. See Defining an Axis System.

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.
	Feature Driven Component Pattern Creates a component pattern based on an existing feature pattern. See Creating Feature Driven 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.
