SolidWorks Flexible Sub-assembly (2 ways)

Most of us find it boring to keep repeating the same mates between the same parts within large assemblies, so we make "Sub-assembly" files to work with. But unfortunately, the default configuration for ALL sub-assemblies makes them "rigid"; as if they were a single part. Here we'll know how to make them "flexible", and in the easiest way possible.

Rigid vs. Weld connection

Beginner
In this tutorial, you can learn the differences between Rigid connection and Weld connection. Note: Adding a rigid connection to a second component of the sub-assembly has eliminated the motion - these surfaces cannot be coincident. To assemble this sub-assembly and maintain its motion - the Weld connection set should be used.
