Summary


Details

When graphically attempting to select a component in a subassembly, the entire 
first-level subassembly is selected. The QuickPick will not even display for 
the option to select the component.


How to graphically select a component in a subassembly without selecting the 
entire first-level subassembly.



Solution

 This is the result of having the Select Scope set incorrectly. 
If the Selection Scope is set to 'Within Work Part Only', then only items 
within the workpart can be selected. Since a component in a subassembly is not 
in the workpart, it cannot be selected, or be an option in QuickPick for 
selection. 
However, the first level subassembly is in the workpart, so it can be 
selected. This is why the entire first level subassembly is selected, instead 
of just the component in the subassembly.


The Selection Scope needs to be set to 'Entire Assembly' so components in the 
entire assembly can be individually selected.
