      I've started building a DC, but realise I need some more subcomponents to make it work. How do you add them?

        OK, I believe this will work. I would try it out, but I am busted for time.

        Steps

        1. Make your subcomponents outside the DC. This should be at the model axes.
        2. After creation, and your are satisfied, copy the component, and before you do anything else, erase the original component.
        3. Open up the DC component.
        4. Paste-in-Place the copied new component. Now it should show up in the DC as another component.
        5. Now add position and rotational info to get the new component at the right location.

        Hope this helps.

        Now going back to work.

          Thanks mate. The "paste in place" worked.
