Now that the lower half of the box is in place we will insert the top half of the box into the assembly and position it correctly. In this case it is the lower half of the metal box, this half has a complex upper edge which we want to offset and transfer to the top half of the box. The first step is to put the driving component into an assembly. Here is a metal box that has some examples of how the in-context approach can work. This approach allows us to quickly make changes to the driving components and have peace of mind that all the remaining components will still fit. We will then use reference geometry from the master or driving components by editing the part in-context, this will allow us to finish the design on these slave or driven components. Once these have been placed in the correct location, further components which could be considered as slave or driven can be added into their correct position in the assembly in a state which is not quite complete.

It can also leave your design open the error, if the design changes and you forget to update all the models for instance.Ī different approach is to add one or more components into an assembly which could be considered the master or driving components. This can be a time consuming process and involves a number of attempts editing the parts to get it spot on. The standard approach is adding the components into an assembly and then measuring one against another to understand if what you have produced will fit together. When you are designing components that need to fit together, it is sometimes difficult to understand what shape they need to be.
