Creating multiple parts from a cut part within an Assembly
I'm looking into processes to automate one of our repetitive tasks of taking a ring and cutting out notches at varying widths, radius, and angle position. Creating the cuts themselves is no headache but the resulting multiple pieces would ideally become new parts. In the example image below, I can easily create a sketch(es) in an assembly file to create openings from the original part. What I'd like to discover if there is a path to have these remnants become new parts that can become new/separate entities?
I've seen other posts suggesting the use of Derived sketches, but derived sketches consistently fail for me when used in a template format that I use where files must be renamed and a link cannot be re-established to the derived files. Short of deriving each section/piece individually, do you have any other ideas for a development path to achieve the individual entities?
