Disassembling Components

Anonymous — Sat, 22 Oct 2016 02:32:56 GMT

Hi,

I wanted to practice assembling components, when go to "Assemblies" in Basic Training, the samples I opened are already assembled. I disassemble all the components by moving them one by one. But after they kind of bonded to each other. I can't move them individually as in the training videos.

Is there a way to open these examples as disassembled? Or if I have to do it myself, after moving all the components, what do I have to do so they are like they have never been assembled so I can move them easily by just selecting and dragging.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

In Fusion, "Joints" are the things that position and define motion for an assembly. So, to "disassemble" a design, you need to remove all the joints. Here is a quick screencast using one of the sample assemblies:

Hope this helps,

Jeff
