The selected assembly seems to be a custom part. It is strongly recommended to add this assembly as custom part to the assembly. Do you want to add the assembly as custom part?

Question:
I try to connect a steel assembly to another assembly as a sub-assembly, but I get this message even if I don't have custom parts or custom components in the selected assembly. What this means and what should I answer?

Answer:
You should just answer Yes and select the Do not show this message again option. Especially in steel assemblies there is no difference which option you select, end result will always be the same, the selected assembly is attached as sub-assembly to the assembly. Message is appearing always when there are components (system or custom) in the selected sub-assembly.

Originally the message was created for a situation where custom part (embed) was added to concrete cast unit using assembly selection instead of component selection, but message seems to appear in many other situations as well.
