Specifying a ground relationship

In the Create New Part In-Place dialog box, you can choose whether to apply a ground relationship to the new part. The default is no.

Designing new parts

After choosing the placement method for the new part or subassembly, you then choose whether to simply create the new file, or whether to create the new file and open it in the appropriate Solid Edge environment for editing. Use the buttons on the Create New Part In-Place dialog box to identify which you want to do.

If you choose to continue working in the new document, you can create new features as you normally would when working in a part or assembly.

Returning to the assembly file

Upon completion, save the new part document, and then choose Close And Return, which is located in the Close group on the ribbon, to return to the original assembly file.
