When you create a component in the assembly context, the created component
is nested under the active main assembly or subassembly in the browser. A
sketch profile for the in-place component that uses projected loops from other
components within the assembly, is associatively tied to the projecting
components.
Drag Components into Assemblies
You can place multiple components in an assembly file in a single operation
by dragging them into an open assembly window.
Drop the files over the graphics window where the assembly model is displayed.
A single occurrence of each component is placed in the assembly file. The
dropped components appear at the bottom of the browser in the receiving
assembly.

Assembly Constraints
Assembly constraints establish the orientation of the components in the
assembly and simulate mechanical relationships between components. For
example, you can:
■
Mate two planes.
■
Specify that cylindrical features on two parts remain concentric.
■
Constrain a spherical face on one component to remain tangent to a planar
face on another component.
Each time you update the assembly, the assembly constraints are enforced.
