Duplicating and replacing components in an assembly
Within an assembly, you can duplicate and replace components with ease. In many instances, you will need to duplicate or replicate parts or subassemblies – for example, standard components such as fasteners.
In this recipe, you will learn how to automatically place and size a fastener, and then replace and change the fastener. You will also learn to mirror and then pattern the component within an assembly. All these techniques should be combined when modeling assemblies in Inventor, as they maximize your efficiency and result in you having to recreate repeating geometry.
