- [Instructor] Here I'm going to create an assembly.
Under Start, Mechanical Design,
I'll just go right into Assembly Design.
By entering in the workbench,
it will actually create a part file for me.
I don't have to go File, New.
So now that I have my product created,
I can begin inserting components or parts into the product.
Again, this is one of those slightly ambiguous terms.
I don't want you to get too confused about this.
So we go into Product.
We'll select it.
And again, one of the two ways I can go about doing this
is I can right mouse click, go into Components,
and say Existing Component.
Once I select Existing Components, it's going to ask me
where do I want to go get my component from.
So here, we can see my folder.
I have my bezel, lower, and my upper.
I can pick one component to bring in.
If I had opened at this point, it will open up the part
and bring it into the assembly, or I can hold
my control key down and select multiple components
that I want to bring into my assembly.
Select them, select Open, and as you can see,
all four of those elements are brought in.
These were designed in context.
So they are going to fall into place correctly
in the assembly.
You'll note that I have a screw hole here
and a screw hole here, so that means
I'm going to need a couple of these.
So I'm going to go ahead and copy, and right mouse click
over the top Product level, and simply paste.
By doing a copy paste, you'll notice
that I just make a new instance of that component.
So I have singular instances of the bezel, the lower,
and the upper, and I have two instances of the screws.
If I were to go in, right mouse click, and say Components,
you'll notice that I can add a new part.
I can also add in new products
or what would be considered sub assemblies at this point.
This new component, again, just stay away from them for now.
Again, these are going to be going away once you go into V6.
Some of you may be there already.
And if that's the case, you will not see that new component.
You'll just see the other options available to you.
