Adding Components by Dragging and Dropping

To add another component instance by dragging and dropping:

1. With an assembly open, hold the Ctrl key, then drag a component either from the FeatureManager design tree, or from within the graphics area.

   A preview of the component appears.

2. Drop it in the graphics area. You can inference the assembly origin.

   When you add a new instance of a component, the instance number suffix (component<n>) is incremented.

You can also add components by dragging from other open document windows.
