How to move a part from parent assembly to existing subassembly?

To transfer (demote) Inventor parts and components in the hierarchy of subassemblies, you can use mouse dragging in the assembly tree browser. To demote a part to a new subassembly, use the standard Demote function (Tab). You can also mouse-drag elements in the opposite way - up the tree, to "superassemblies".

If you need to demote a Frame Generator component, right-click on it in the assembly tree and select Component > Demote Frame Generator Components. In the "Create In-Place Component" dialog then enter the name of the existing subassembly. The component will be included into it.
