Placing a Part in a Sub-document

This task shows you how to place a part under the active parent, such as in a sub-document.
When you place a part on a routable, it will place in the same document to which the routable belongs. This command can be used to place a part in a document that is different from the one to which a routable belongs. This will only work for documents that are sub-documents of the one to which the routable belongs. You cannot use it to place a part in a document that is at a higher level.

The sub-document in which you want to place the part should be the active document - activate it by double clicking or any other means.

1. With the routable on which you want to place the part displayed, click the button Place New Part Under Active Parent .
2. The part will place on the routable and will show in the specifications under the document you selected. In the image below, the run is in the document Product2, but the valve placed on it is in the sub-document Product3.
