Quick Tip - Component Derive

In this Inventor quick tip video, we examine the component derive command. Component derive allows you to modify a copy of a part without affecting the original assembly. Enjoy!

How do you add the derived part back to your assembly?

Once the component is derived you should be able to just simply place the component and put it back in. If you want it to replace the existing components, I would suggest trying the create substitute command. This tool creates a derived component and replaces it as a substitute in one command. help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-F060DDBF-E144-4795-A707-4717DE526238

I know it says quick but that's terrible.
