2. Key takeaways

1

LEO proposes an assembly structure by grouping components into logical subassemblies, even across dozens or hundreds of parts.

2

You can edit the proposed structure before it is generated, then LEO creates the matching part and assembly files.

3

A hole created with the Hole Wizard can be extended through several components of the assembly.

4

Review the generated structure with the methods or purchasing team: it then feeds the bill of materials.

Tip

Write your request like a bill of materials outline (frame, drive, guard, hardware): the generated structure will be closer to how you work.

3. Do the exercise

On a flat assembly of a simple machine:

  • ask LEO for a structure with three or four subassemblies
  • move a misplaced component before generating
  • extend a mounting hole through two parts
✓To check: The tree shows the expected subassemblies and the hole goes through both parts at the same diameter.
