00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,240
You can use different methods
when you copy and reuse your components.
1

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,240
You can choose to paste components
that are linked to the original
2

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,880
and hence updates,
when your original component updates.
3

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,920
You can also paste New components
when you want to reuse your component,
4

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,160
but want to continue working on it
as an individual piece of information.
5

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,440
Insert into current design
allows you to reference,
6

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,800
also known as xref, short
for external reference,
7

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,520
external Autodesk Fusion designs
within your current assembly.
8

9
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,960
Right click on the component you want to
copy on your browser, and then right
9

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,320
click on the component you want to nest
your copied component within.
10

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,680
It's common to nest your component
within your top level component,
11

12
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,840
but you can also nest it
within lower level components.
12

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,680
Position your pasted component.
13

14
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,840
Pay attention to the
14

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,200
unique designations
at the end of the copied component name.
15

16
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,600
Press OK to finish.
16

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,520
This component is linked to the original.
17

18
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Use this method when you want changes
made to the original component
18

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,720
to also update the copy.
19

20
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,680
Paste new works similarly,
20

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,040
but paste
an unlinked copy of your component.
21

22
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Pay attention to the file name
when you paste new.
22

23
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,240
The name differs from the paste component
23

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,240
workflow with a linked component.
24

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,160
You also have the option
to fire up a new design
25

26
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,160
and paste your component there.
26

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,000
This independent component
won't update when you update the original,
27

28
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,120
which is useful
when you want to reuse digital assets
28

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,120
but continue working with them
as originals.
29

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,960
Use insert into current design
30

31
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,160
when you want to xref a component
from another design.
31

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Select
your parent component in your design
32

33
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,440
before you right click your chosen design
in the data panel and insert it.
33

34
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,600
Edit in
34

35
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,360
place allows you to edit the external
component in your current context.
35

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,240
You can also break the link
from the original design, and continue
36

37
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,760
to work with your component
as an independent piece of information.
37

38
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,160
You now know the basics
about copying and pasting components.
38

39
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,320
See you soon in
the next lesson. Thank you.
