About Creating a New Subassembly
You can create a new subassembly in any existing assembly. A subassembly uses the same unit of measurement as the top assembly.
1. Click > 
Add Subassemblies. The Subassembly dialog box opens.
Add Subassemblies. The Subassembly dialog box opens.2. Select a subassembly from the list of EMX subassemblies, as the target assembly for the new subassembly.
3. In the Name box, enter a name for the new subassembly, drawing, and report.
4. In the Project Prefix box, enter the project prefix.
 | If the EMX Option ENABLE_SUBASM_PREFIX is set to NO, the project Prefix box is unavailable. |
5. In the project Postfix box, enter the suffix for the project.
6. Assign any of the following functions to the subassembly:
