select subaxis instead of parts

[JAMES_BOND]

Good morning.
probably (I hope) the answer to my question is trivial but I tried to search in the forums and did not find it.
I come from inventor and I'm starting to use solidworks.
in inventor, in the graphic window in a set with subaxis I can easily make ctrl c > ctrl v on subaxis to replicate them.
in solidworks so doing I replic a part and not the subassieme in which it is contained.
I know that with the dx key I can change the selection on subaxes, but I only cover one at a time and for more copying it from the feature manager tree and not from the graphic window.

Can someone tell me if there's a chance to set sw in such a way that it works as an inventor or how can I do otherwise?
Thank you.

If you need to copy more than one you can select them from the managar feature (or 3d directly) holding ctrl.
I don't think you can change that when selecting a piece of a set/subassieme you select the whole axieme/subassieme.

Thanks for the answer... it seems impossible, however, that there is no way and that no one has asked sw anything like this in the years... it is a basic necessity that the main competitor performs well. . .

is a basic necessity that the main competitor performs well. . .

on this I have doubts, for you it is essential/element but not for everyone.

I got used to "modo solidworks" and it would bother me to use it, if it were possible, in the modus operandi of inventor. I think you have to do it.

at the end of the day just click on the assemblies in the feature manager and it's the same thing, it changes only where to press the mouse...

 

[JAMES_BOND]

It's just a lot slower... you can't copy groups of sub-aximes already bound together. One more thing.
Anyway, thank you.

Of course you can. select from the feature manager the subassiemi and make copy with coupling; creates a copy of the selected subaxis carrying behind the existing couple between them

 

[JAMES_BOND]

Okay. thanks to both

I agree with rocks.
'copy with mating' allows you to make multiple copies of parts and subaxis.
allows to create copies of parts and subaxis already correctly placed.
some couplings can be repeated, while others can be properly modified already during copying.

in 2018 I use a very much tool (of which I do not know the name, but which appears in the other corner to the left of the graphic window) that, wherever you click, shows a chain of assembly-subassieme1-subassieme2-...-part-body-face.
In this way : I click in the graphic area what I need, I climb up with the mouse on the 'chain' and individual what I refer to, whether it is subaxieme or part or body, ....
weights the processing of the axieme, but it is very convenient not to scroll the feature manager when it is too long.

look if you can be usefulhttps://forum.solidworks.com/thread/184697

 

[muzzetto]

very interesting.
among other things calls 'breadcrumbles' the 'chain' I wrote to you.
it appears close to the pointer by pressing the 'd' button.

thanks massive, I tried; I created the selection filter but select them all. I found on forums also in English other people asking this option but no one who can give the solution.

I created the selection filter but select them all.

He also says in the linked discussion.
but it also says that you just select a part and with the right-click select subassieme, there is also the video.
