I am trying to reuse an assembly to make another, very similar, assembly.
I saved the assembly as a copy. I am adjusting parts as needed. After the creation of the new assembly, if I need to change an individual part, I save the part as a copy with a new name, replace the old component with...
Is there a way to have a part that has not been exploded to follow all the steps of an already exploded part? Sometimes I miss a part (like a screw) and need to catch it up with a part or group of parts that were previously exploded. I can go through step by step, but am looking for an easier...
How can I pick part of a subassembly to explode? Sometimes I want the sub and sometimes I want just a part or two of the sub. I know this must be easy, but I am getting readjusted to SW after two years on Inventor, and I have searched for the answer to no avail.
Thanks,
Steve

Is there a way to measure the radius of a curve?
I have a curve made using insert curve from XYZ points. The points were generated using a MicroScribe MX digitizer.
I realize that a curve may or may not be part of a circle, but can a segment be measured or take an average.....or something...
How can I 3D sketch, so the sketch is not on a plane? I am trying to sketch a wire that goes from one place to another in 3D space using the top down (in assembly) method. I am going from "near" one part to "near" another part. In Inventor or Pro-E I would create work points at the intersection...
I have a Logitech TrackMan wheel. My wireless Logitech laser mouse (model ?) dropped on the floor and does not work. I have been trying to use the TrackMan (which I purchased to help with ergonomics) and am having difficulty with precision. How long does it take to get used to it? Is it possible...
I need a very deep socket to remove nuts from threaded rod. We have a contracted maintenance project that requires the removal of nuts from over 100 pieces of threaded rod, and then putting them back. It would take more time than we have to remove them using hand tools, especially since the...
I need to weld or secure bolts to a steel plate that will be an mounting adapter plate. We are replacing an older gearbox (quite large, about 800 pounds) with a newer one, which, of course, has a different bolt hole pattern. The adapter plate will have studs protruding down into the old bolt...
