Selecting an assembly using its parts

How do I select subassemblies from an assembly model?

First, select a part that belongs to the assembly. Once the part is selected, a faint mini toolbar will appear above and to the right of the cursor. From this toolbar, you can:

• Select the assembly the part belongs to

• Use the plus (+) button to move one level up in the hierarchy

• Use the minus (–) button to move one level down

• Use the right-hand button to select the top-level assembly
