Guidelines for Restructuring Components
Keep the following guidelines in mind when you restructure an assembly component:
• When you restructure an assembly component you cannot restructure the following components:
◦ Pattern members
◦ A component that has multiple occurrences
◦ Excluded or substituted components
• When you restructure an assembly, component placement constraints and references can change:
◦ When you restructure a component assembled with a Default placement constraint, the constraint automatically changes to Fixed.
◦ When you restructure the first component of an assembly, it is restructured in the Model Tree, but the location in the graphics window remains unchanged.
◦ When the restructured component and the target subassembly are members of the same level assembly, you must move the children of the restructured component as well.
◦ The reference path of the restructured component is updated to minimize external references.
• When you restructure a component of a simplified representation, you can retrieve parent components on-demand in order to restructure the children successfully.
• You cannot restructure components of an external simplified representation.
