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.

Once the part is complete select the "Tools" tab and then select the "Send Part To" drop down menu. Choose either "New Assembly" or any open Assembly projects listed here. Click "Submit".
