Conversely, when you save a virtual subassembly to an external file,\u00a0you can save all of its child components to external files at the same time.\u00a0When you make a subassembly virtual or save a virtual subassembly to an external file,\u00a0the option to include its child components is available in the dialog box.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unfamiliar, virtual components are saved internally to the assembly file instead of in separate part or subassembly files.
