Assign to Component

The Assign to Component dialog box appears when you choose the Assign to Component... command. It allows you to confirm the assignment and to apply it recursively, if the object in question is a composite object.

Dialog fields and options

The dialog displays the type and name of the object that will be assigned to a new component, and also its current component. Depending on the type of object, a number of other options may also be enabled.
