A part assembly is a group of part assemblies and/or parts. Part assemblies can be created, edited, and deleted in the Part browser, or imported into Engineering Solutions from the Import browser. To create a part assembly, right-click in the Part browser and select Create > Part Assembly from the context menu.

Part assemblies can be organized in the Part browser. A part assembly can contain part assemblies and parts. These can be both assemblies and parts. It should be noted that a part assembly can temporarily contain a component if it does not contain part assemblies or parts.

The current part assembly is shown in the status bar and is also bold in the Part browser. Set the current part assembly by right-clicking on a part assembly in the Part browser and selecting Make Current from the context menu.

Part assemblies have a display state, on or off, which control the display of all parts and part assemblies organized within the part assembly in the graphics area. The display state of a part assembly can be controlled using the icons next to the part assembly in the Part browser.

Part assemblies also have an active state, which controls its display state. If a part assembly is active, then its display state is available to be turned on or off in the Part browser. If a part assembly is inactive, then its display state is turned off.
