Change an assembly component in the Assembly environment


  1. In an assembly, display the PathFinder tab.

  2. Select the component you want to modify in PathFinder.

  3. Right-click to display the shortcut menu.

  4. On the shortcut menu, do one of the following:

    • To edit a part within the context of the assembly, choose Edit.

    • To edit a part without viewing the remainder of the assembly, choose Open.

    Tip:
    • When you return to the Assembly environment, the assembly updates if the Automatic Update command is set.

    • When you use the Edit command, you can view the other parts in the assembly while you make the design changes.

    • When working with a new unsaved assembly document, you must save the assembly document once before editing a part in the context of the assembly.
