Naming Parts/Assemblies in an assembly

iain_downs

Probably a silly question, but Google has not helped me..

I have a whole load of parts.  Some I put in an assembly (called 'support').  I add two of these support assemblies to an other assembly and I went to call them left support and right support.  I can't see any way of changing the names from support<1> and support<2>.

Thanks

You need to right click on the assembly where you see it in the far right "tabs" window (hit alt+t or click the little magnify glass in the lower left to turn it on/off), not the "instances" window.

Thanks for you're reply Tony.  However, I think you are telling me how to change the name of an assembly.(in the example below) the I have an assembly 'Support' with two instances in this assembly.  They are called 'Support<1>' and 'Support<2>'.  I want to change the names of them to 'Left Support' and 'Right Support', but when I right click there is no rename option.

Thanks

Oh...In that case you're going to need to copy that assembly and name one "support left" and the other "support right."   That <1> is just indicating how many of that assembly/part you have in your assembly.

You can just mirror it in the studio. Than you will have 2 different parts. If you wanna change them later you can always drag the mirror feature to the end of the tree.
