Make part from Assembly

[Justpaul]

At the moment we are working on a large Assembly file which contains many parts, in the end this Assembly should be transformed in a Part again which would enable us to work on it as if it were a normal part.


Anybody an idea how one can make a single solid part out of a SW (2008) Assembly?


Thanks!

Did you try the function - Save as. part? you can than save the asembly with - exterior faces or exterior components or with all components.


good luck Jan

One other way you could do it is use the join function. I've used it to join a few parts in an assembly but never on a large number of components.


It may be worth trying though Jan's method sounds a bit easier.
