________________ or ____________________
- When you replace a component in an assembly:
What happens to the position of the new component?
What happens to the previous constraints from the old component?
- What happens when you double click on a component in an assembly?
- What will other components in the assembly look like after you double click on one component?
- Define subassembly:
