Explode all subassembly

DamianoTasca — Fri, 27 Mar 2015 15:21:49 GMT

I'm looking for a procedure or a command to move all subassembly's components to the main root/level of main assembly, i.e. I need to get a new assembly with all single parts (no subassemblies).

Is there a way to do it automatically?

Hi!

Not automatically, but possible.

Select the elements from subassemblys and "Promote Them, they will left the subassembly and go to the main assembly.

After you can delete the "empty sub-assembly.

You can change the subassembly BOM structure to a phantom assembly. This doesn't physically remove parts from the subassembly but all subassembly parts will display in the next level BOM.

Any idea to get a list of coordinates of each component of main and sub assemblies?

The problem is that the coordinates of the parts in the subassemblies are related to subassemblies ambient and not to main assembly ambient...
