Loading a Part into Assembly

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:

Method 1) From the part interface

Method 2) From a saved part file

Method 1) From the Part Interface

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".
