Hi,

I have just learned the "Move/Copy Bodies" command in part editing. I have also watched the official Lesson Two: Assemblies video tutorial at solidworks.com.

In "Move/Copy Bodies" I can either choose "Translate/Rotate" or "Constraints" option, and the "Constraints" option constrain by Coincident, Parallel, Perpendicular, Tangent, Concentric which is in every aspect the same as the mating techniques Lesson Two: Assemblies has taught.

I haven't yet finished learning part drawing to assembly phase, but I would like to ask if Assembly phase really differs very little from the "Constraints" of "Move/Copy Bodies" command? If that being true it seems that Assembly phase would be the easiest to learn among Sketch, Part and Assembly because we can just use virtually the same set of command already learned in "Move/Copy Bodies >> Constraints".
