How to Create a New Assembly (1:50)

Step 1: Identify the Need for a New Assembly

1. Recognize Missing Symbols (Not currently in your library)
   • While working on your project, identify any special outlets or components that are not already available in the system.

Step 2: Access the Library Management Tool

1. Navigate to Library Settings
   • Go to the settings or library management area of your software where you can add new symbols or assemblies.

Step 3: Create a New Assembly

1. Add New Assembly
   • Click on "Add new assemblies" or the equivalent option in your software.
2. Use Image Cropping Tool
   • If available, use the image cropping tool to capture an image of the new component you wish to add.
   • Adjust and preview the crop to ensure it captures the necessary details.
3. Enter Assembly Information
   • Fill in the required fields such as name, type, and any other essential data.

Step 4: Assign Parameters and Parts List

1. Select Assembly Group
   • Choose the appropriate group for the new assembly, like "in-wall assemblies" for electrical components.
2. Copy Parameters
   • Select an existing assembly to copy parameters from, especially if the new assembly shares similar characteristics.
3. Copy Parts List
   • Opt to copy the parts list from the selected assembly to incorporate standard parts and pieces automatically.

Step 5: Save and Review the New Assembly

1. Save the Assembly
   • Confirm all details are correct and save the new assembly.
2. Verify in Library
   • Return to the Assemblies tab to view the newly created assembly.
   • Ensure it has all the right parameters and parts as configured.

Step 6: Utilize the New Assembly in Projects

1. Implement in Design
   • Integrate the newly created assembly into your project designs as needed.
   • Ensure it functions as expected within the project's context.
