You can create assembly views and assembly sheets for an assembly type, but these drawings are always associated with a particular instance of the type, and only one instance of a type can have assembly views. If that instance of the assembly is deleted from the project (or disassembled), all associated assembly views are deleted as well.

Aside from annotations, assembly detail views contain only those elements that make up the assembly instance. You can add annotations to an assembly view, but you cannot add any model elements, nor can you edit the assembly or its member elements.

You specify the particular views you want and other parameters in the Create Assembly Views dialog, which you can access in either of the following ways:

Select an instance of the assembly type in a project view, and then click Modify | Assemblies tab Assembly panel Create Views.
NoteThe Create Views option is not available if assembly views already exist for a different instance of the same type.
Select an assembly type in the Project Browser, right-click, and click Create Assembly Views. In this case, the views will be associated with the assembly instance that was created first, and the Create Views tool will not be available for other instances selected in a project view.

In the Create Assembly Views dialog, you select the types of views you want, select the desired scale, and (if Sheet is selected) specify titleblock information. When you click OK, the views are added to the Assemblies category in the Project Browser under the assembly type name.

Assembly views always remain associated with the assembly instance for which they were created. If an edit to an assembly instance causes the instance to change from one assembly type to another, any assembly views belonging to the edited instance will be listed under the project browser node for the new assembly type. If the type you changed to already has assembly views, an error message informs you that one set of views will be deleted.

If you create additional section views within an assembly view, they inherit the assembly view's relationship to the assembly instance.

To place an assembly view on a sheet

In the Project Browser, under Assemblies, expand the node for the assembly type, and double-click the name of the sheet.
Drag the desired detail view from the Project Browser onto the open sheet view, and release the mouse button to display an outline of the detail view.
Move the cursor to position the outline as desired, then click to place the view on the sheet.
NoteYou can also place drafting views on assembly sheets.
After views have been placed on a sheet, you can expand the sheet's node in the Project Browser to see the list of views. Note that default sheet numbers are assigned incrementally without regard to assembly type.

If you want to place the same view on more than one sheet for the same assembly, right-click the view name in the Project Browser, and click Duplicate View. For more information, see Duplicating a Detail View. Note that assembly views cannot be place on normal (non-assembly) sheets.
