Creating an Assembly from the Content Toolbar

You can use the Create New Assembly command from the Design Manager tree to group components and form assemblies. The current physical product becomes part of the new assembly. When you create assemblies, you can move and work with that group of components as one object.

Before you begin: Open a physical product in the Design Manager tree.
