-
Click Merge
to display the Merge Ribbon.
-
Select the blocks or assemblies to merge.
You can use the model to select the lowest level of blocks; however, you must use
the Workspace Explorer to select parent blocks or assemblies.
-
If necessary, type a new name for the merged block or assembly.
-
Click Finish.
-
Only blocks and assemblies can be merged; you cannot merge atomic parts.
-
Blocks and assemblies cannot be merged with one another; you can only merge blocks with blocks or assemblies with assemblies.
-
Only blocks sharing a common plane can be merged. That is, only neighbor blocks can be merged.
-
Assemblies to be merged must be in the same block.
-
The block or assembly will be merged in the higher common level.
-
The resulting blocks and assemblies must follow the definitions of blocks and assemblies.
-
The merge will not affect atomic parts that you have assigned to neighboring blocks.
-
You cannot modify the Merge command at a later stage. You must use the Split Block or Modify Block commands.
-
When merging blocks and you get to the last one, use the Flatten an assembly or block command instead of the Merge command to combine the blocks.
