Copy an Assembly within an OS document

Henk_de_Vlaam

I have a part studio tab (PS_Achterwiel) and assembly tab (Assy_Achterwiel) of a spoked wheel. I made a copy of the part tab to PS_Voorwiel within the document to use it for the creation a smaller identical wheel. I also like to have a copy of the assy tab which should be associated to PS_Voorwiel. How do I make such a copy?

This is where our linked documents come into play. Here is a nice video on how to use them: https://www.onshape.com/cad-blog/tech-tip-how-to-use-linked-documents

Thank you bradley_sauln for your answer.

However, if I understand the tech-tip correctly then one can linked a copy to another document. I want to have a copy of the assy in the same document.

Let's assume the name the parts in the Onshape document above Velg = A, Band = B, Velg = C, Spaak = D.
I like to have Assy_Voorwiel, which consists of parts A1, B1, C1, D1 that have the same shape as parts A, B, C, D with differnt dimensions.
In the world of file based CAD-systems it would be like this:

1. Parts  A, B, C, D  are in Assy_Achterwiel.
2. I make a copy from Assy_Achterwiel to Assy_Voorwiel and the CAD-system asks if the new assy should contain A, B, C, D or new copies A1, B1, C1, D1. I like to have the latter.
   
3. Now I have a new assy (Assy_Voorwiel) with new parts, still equal to A, B, C, D but changeble to other dimensions.

In OS I copied the part studio, so I have the new parts (A1, B1, C1, D1) already. But now, how do I get Assy_Voorwiel in document Benz so that I do not have to build a new assy from parts A1, B1, C1, D1?
