Associated Levels - PartsLab will attempt to automatically associate the assigned Level of Parts created from linked model objects. If a Level of the same name exists in the Current model, matching the linked model object from which the Part was created, the Part will be associated to that matching Level. If the required Level is missing, the Parts for that Level will remain Unassociated.

New Reconcile Level Associations in 4.3.0.x - When parts are being created, if the level of the part's host object does not exist in the model where parts are being created, an alert will appear with an option to associate those parts to a level. Click this option to associate these parts to a level in the model where parts are being created. This does not physically move the object, it only changes the part's level property.

2.Drag that right-column item to a Level in the left column
