Saving out single part WITH CAM set up and MOPs.

[BillGEGHV]

Hey Guys,  

Is there a way to export, extract or save out a single part (with CAM set up and MOPs) from a very large file with a ton of geometry, CAM set up stuff, and many programmed parts?  I want to selectively save out the part with all its CAM setup and MOPs.   Im having issues trying to run this file from my laptop at the mill and have to go back and forth to and from the desktop in the office to shop.  My laptop is old and but very capable, except when it comes to files getting huge like this.  

What options do I have here? 

Thanks

I dont believe theres an "export partial" feature, but you can duplicate the file and delete everything else. Downside is nothing will sync back to your original "big file"

How about using a remote desktop viewer on your laptop instead?

To directly answer your question: 

There's not much of a concept of "timeline" in the MFG space like there is in the Design space. As such, there's no mechanism to do what you're looking for. I would discourage you from going the "duplicate and delete" route, as you will quickly run into issues in regards to syncing and general confusion.

Two options: upgrade the laptop (it does sound like it might be time) or use a remote desktop. 

Side story, but related: I was working with a customer (in person) and his laptop was somewhat dated but Fusion was just cranking out toolpaths and performance was very good. I then noticed that he was running a remote desktop connection to his computer 100 miles away. I was impressed, it's not something I've had to do before.
