This section covers how to load a part that was made as a "template", "custom part", "custom 3d part", "XYZ" or a "sketch" part into the assembly Master Part List.
NOTE: It is recommended parts are created in assembly because of the potential difficulty in rotating a part into the proper orientation!!!
There are 2 methods to accomplish this:
