SAC: Inside of C3D

[doni49]

Imagine it -- within C3d, type in SUBASSEMBLYCOMPOSER (or more likely, pick it on a ribbon somewhere).  Then something akin to the BlockEditor opens up.  Where I can edit an existing or create a new sub-assembly.

Store the assemblies within the dwg file just as though the user had placed them in the dwg by picking them from a pallette (although in the future, I don't want the use of a pallette to be required -- see below).  Also allow me to save the SA as a pkt file (similar to using the WBLOCK command to export a block to an external file).

Type in INSERTSUBASSEMBLY (or more likely, pick it on a ribbon somewhere).  And you're prompted to pick an SA (very similar to inserting a block).  The dialog would include a BROWSE button to allow me to grab a pkt file -- again similar to inserting a block that's been stored as an external file.

Now this is a good workflow for creating/using sub-assemblies.
