10.4 The Tire and Wheel Sub-Assembly

The first part introduced to an assembly will remain fixed. Subsequent parts added to the
assembly can move relative to the fixed part. It is important to plan which part should be
introduced first. For the wheel sub-assembly we will start with the wheel.

Step 81: Open a new document and select the InchAssembly template.

 The input menu will ask you what part you want to add. Browse through your saved

parts until you find the skateboard wheel.

 Click to select the wheel and then click Open.
