Tutorial : How to upload assembly files which contain more than one part ?
Firstly its important to understand that assembly files are all linked to the part files. These files do not hold all the information of the individual parts. When opened an assembly file searches for the part files linked to it and draws information from it. So in case you have uploaded an assembly file alone, the assembly doesn't get the info it needs and hence doesn't work!
The process is quite simple, but the aim of this tutorial is to make people realize how important it is to avoid making this error.
