Embedded parts into assemblies

Greetings,

 

Can parts be embedded into an assembly within Inventor?  The big advantage for me would be when I import a vendor product assembly that comes in as an assembly but I want it to still have the properties of an assembly but don't want the mess of several files referenced along with it.  This is a feature available within SolidWorks, but not sure if it is available within Inventor.

 

Thanks,

Mike

What version of Inventor do you have?

Check into "shrinkwrap substitute" in the component section of the Assemble tab (assuming you have the ribbon UI)

thanks for the reply mcgyvr.  It is a close solution but I like to have the ability of motion with an assembly.  I will play around with it.

 

Thanks again,

Mike
