Optiq Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 I'm trying to build something strait from a new assembly. When I start a fresh part and create a sketch none of the features are available except for "reference geometry", "curves" and "instant 3D". As far as the extrude boss and cut, fillet, rib, shell etc. they're all grayed out. I don't have this problem when I'm creating a part in "part" mode. I'm only having it in "assembly" mode. I tried watching videos to see if they exit out of anything else and everyone seems to just go to "insert component > new part" then select a plane, start sketch mode, sketch entity, exit sketch mode, boss extrude..... every step works fine up until I need to use a feature.... which aren't available. Does anybody have any clue as to why this is occurring? Thanks in advance. It's version 2012 by the way. Quote
Pablo Ferral Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 I think you're looking for 'create component' - not 'insert component'. It may be hidden in a drop down under the insert command... Quote
JD Mather Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 To have an assembly of parts, you must, of course, have parts. To create New Parts at the assembly level - click the New Part icon. Quote
