Re: How do you manage larger assemblies?

We have a gearbox mounted on a raised rail which is mounted on the base of the robot.

Gears and plates - parts
Gears on shafts - assemblies
Gearbox - assembly
Gearbox on rail - assembly
base - assembly
whole robot - assembly of assemblies

Abstraction is your friend. The software is designed to be parametric and its a great help to use it that way.
