Breaking Multiple Links in Assembly Files

You can break multiple links at the same time in an assembly file. You can break links for the top-level assembly node, an assembly with a 3D Interconnect subnode, or a part with a 3D Interconnect subnode.

1. In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click an inserted assembly node and click Break Links.
2. Select one of the following options:
   • This Link
   • Component Links
   • Component and Feature Links

   The options under Break Links vary depending on the node that you select.

   Selected Node	Break Links Options
   Top-level assembly	Component Links Breaks the 3D Interconnect link for all component-level links in the assembly structure tree. Component and Features Links Breaks the 3D Interconnect link for all component-level links and feature-level links in the assembly structure tree.
   Part with 3D Interconnect subnode	This Link Breaks the 3D Interconnect link for the selected item. Component and Features Links Breaks the link for the component-level node and the feature-level node.
   Assembly with 3D Interconnect subnode	This Link Breaks the 3D Interconnect link for the selected item. Component Links Breaks the 3D Interconnect link for all component-level links including the selected node. Component and Feature Links Breaks the 3D Interconnect link for all component-level links and feature-level links, including the selected node.

   For an assembly of a neutral file format (for example, an assembly STEP file), when you right-click the 3D Interconnect subnode, only the Break Link option appears.
