files in attachment. I did design in solidworks before and I think it was the same feature in fusion360 when I am assembling in another project and putting it in another and then have reference to connections in the base model.

The issue you were seeing when you placed one assembly into another was caused by one sheet metal body you had not turned into a component. Because of this, it would not maintain the joints when being inserted. Also, in the Screencast, since I had to recreate your joints anyway, I show you a lot cleaner method of adding required joints and joining the motion between each end. Changing a sheet metal body, after the fact, from a body to a component is not straightforward as you might think. I show you the process in the Screencast.

I will not be sending your model back to you since it is a linked component and I am not sure you know how to handle it if I did. Since you added two F3Z files to your post, I am pretty sure you do not understand the relationship and I do not want to confuse you. Simply apply my changed to your original assembly, save it, and the top level one you added it to will update automatically.

ok looks good. I have been working on solidworks for 4 years and there was another method of creating assemblies. I'm new to this case and just starting to learn fusion 360.

Thank you very much.
