Assemble command bar
The Assemble command bar features are used to define an assembly relationship between two elements in an assembly (for more information, see Assemble command).
You cannot access the Assemble command bar (Home tab→Assemble group→Assemble command 
) until an initial part had been placed in the graphics window (for more information, see Assemble parts (workflow)).
The following image shows the command bar using the horizontal toolbar form of the Command User Interface. The displayed features for the vertical docking window interface form are similar. The version that is displayed is user-selected using the Command User Interface options on the Helpers tab in the QY CAD Options dialog box. For more information, see Helpers tab (QY CAD Options dialog box).
The features displayed on the Assemble command bar change according to the type of relationship being applied. The FlashFit relationship is initially displayed because it is the default relationship, as shown next:
The default assembly relationship can be changed to the Mate relationship using the Options dialog box.
Use the features of the Assemble command bar to position the selected part or subassembly into the active assembly. Parts are positioned in assemblies using a combination of assembly relationships.
For more information on positioning parts in assemblies, see Placing parts in assemblies.
For more information on positioning parts with relationships, see Assembly relationships.
