import ipt into ipt

[Il Mauri]

Hello and everyone.
use inventor 2012 and I would like to know if it is possible to import a part into an existing part, in practice the command " insert part" that there is in solidworks.
in a few words I would like to import a pair of threaded compasses in a part formed by a structural extruded aluminum.
I know that for this there are assemblies, but it seems excessive to manage such a banal and simple set, it would be much more practical to manage a part "multiparties".
Thank you.

Hi, Mauri.

You can derive a part. (-derived)

Okay, I managed to import the new part into an existing part.
the problem is that the imported part automatically placed on the origin
of the existing part and there is no possibility to move it and then bind it to the place where I would like.

you can use move bodies in the edit group to place it wherever you want

Oh, okay. However everything is not very manageable, I hoped there was the possibility to bind the imported part with the same commands that are used in the assemblies (e.g. axis on axis..face on face..etc. )

for that there is the witness:

in reality if it comes with consistent reference systems is
relatively manageable..anzi is a refined technique.

Of course, there is the axieme... but other cads also do it in the parts.. .
However as you say you can combine the same.
Thank you for everything.

try to insert the two parts into a temporary set and place them as you need, then go to change on what you want to insert the other part (doing double clicks), and use promote or copy object.
In this way in the ipt you have the other object in the location you prefer.
