De-Synchronizing a Scene from its Associated Assembly

An important use of Scenes is the possibility to create a reference of an assembly. This enables you to continue working on the assembly, knowing that you can always return to a given reference point. This task shows you how to de-synchronize all components in a scene from the associated assembly so that their new position can be used as a reference. 
You must have created a scene. See Creating Scenes.

  1. Double-click Scene 1 in the specification tree or double-click the Scene 1 icon in the geometry area to swap to the scene window.

         
    Scene 1 appears.



     

  2. Drag the cursor across the geometry area to select the entire product and release. The entire product is selected.

      
     

  3. Click Reset selected products I_ReplaceComponentP2.gif (289 bytes). The scene is now de-synchronized from its associated assembly. You can now use the scene as a reference point to which you can return at any time while working on your assembly. (See Applying a Scene to an Assembly.)
Note: If you displace a component within a scene, this will also have the effect of de-synchronizing all components having the same parent as the moved component.
