Adding Components
Drop new parts into the assembly without knocking them loose — model, insert, group, and fasten.
01
Insert Without Breaking Position
Add a new part and keep it where you modeled it.
- Insert the part and confirm immediately.
- Edit the original Group to include the new part.
- That keeps it locked to its modeled position.
