An assembly is defined as a design consisting of two or more components bonded together

at their respective working positions using the assembly constraints.

Choose create a new object button from the top tool chest. The New dialog box will be
displayed; select the assembly radio button from the type.

FIG-6.1

You can enter the name of assembly now click on ok button to create a new assembly
Please notice the all tools in model tab of assembly.

FIG-6.2

 Now click on assembly option in model tab at the upper left side

 Click or Insert > Component > Assemble> The Open dialog box select the part
and click open
 FIG-6.3

 And click on default constrain and click ok.

FIG-6.4

 Now again click on assemble to pick second part of component

FIG-6.5
 Select the cylindrical surface of shaft

FIG-6.6

 Now select the hole surface of default part of assembly

FIG-6.7

 Now select the top surface of base plate.

FIG-6.8
 Now select the lower cylindrical surface of your part

FIG-6.9

 If your component being fully constrain its mean your assembly is ok

FIG-6.10

 Now pick your next one part by clicking assembly tool.

 FIG-6.11

 Repeat this procedure again

FIG-6.12

 Now click on distance constrain

FIG-6.13

 Fill the distance by double click on distance value.

FIG-6.14
 Now pick your next part to complete assembly and constrain it same

FIG-6.15

 Click ok to complete this procedure.
