I am using Inventor 2012. I have a part that has 3 different inserts of a different material that I have to cut out. So I create 3 different assemblies with the part and the the 3 different inserts. Then I create 3 parts to derived the cutouts. Then 3 new assemblies to create the final assembly with the part and its insert.
Does Inventor 2014 have a way to do this with an iAssembly? I can't seem to derive a member of an iAssembly now. In my old CAD system I was able to create a table with one assembly that contained one part, three different inserts and 3 different cutouts. Right now this seems like a lot of work.
Does anyone else have an easier solution?

That does sound like too much work.
Can you attach example files here?
(FYI - the 2014 technique will be no different than 2012 technique)
Are you really intested in an easier solution?
