In this blog we will discuss one of these tools, Smart Components. We will look at how we create and add smart components to an assembly. The insertion of Smart Component into an assembly enables easy addition of related components and features in one step.The first step in the process will be to define the component we will make into a smart component. To do this we initially need to create an assembly containing all the parts and features required to be used in the smart component.<\/p>\n<p><b>Where to Find:<\/b> Go to Menu > Tools > Make Smart Component<br \/>\n<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18073\"  src=\"https:\/\/ckonnect.in\/solidworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/smart-component.jpg\" alt=\"smart-component\" width=\"571\" height=\"180\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ckonnect.in\/solidworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/smart-component.jpg 571w, https:\/\/ckonnect.in\/solidworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/smart-component-300x95.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ckonnect.in\/solidworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/smart-component-450x142.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/>To create the smart component, the component, associated components and features must be selected from assembly using <b>Make Smart Component.<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Component Selection:<\/b><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"18074\"  src=\"https:\/\/ckonnect.in\/solidworks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/smartcomponet-1.jpg\" alt=\"smartcomponet-1\" width=\"800\" height=\"356\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18074\" \/><br \/>\nClick <b>Make Smart Component<\/b> and Select Latch and the two Flat Head Screws as the related components.<br \/>\nUnder Features, Select the in-context cut feature made in Cover for Latch.
