Derived parts from split

Hi.

 

I am trying to work out a way to split a part into aprox. 60 individual parts (slices for lasercutting) and be able to project each face for a sketch & extrude (2mm) and save each part both as an .ipt and .dxf.

 

I would also like at least the .ipt files to be dependent on the original split part if possible. 

I am aware that VBA will probably have to be used at some point, but I have only just started to learn, and it's a bit over my head. 

 

I have attached the file which is already split, but I only managed to split it in to two solid bodies.

Interesting task. Try this:

- Copy Object -> Use Body option and select first solid -> Output as surface

- Select the new surface and Copy to Construction (Activate Construction environment (CE) in Application options, if needed)

- In CE, unstitch the copied surface
- Stitch it again. You'll get 30 solids

- Select all solids in CE -> Copy Object from there to a Multibody (30 bodies)

 

- Do it again for the second initial solid

 

In a last step, delete unnecessary contents like duplicate geometries (Not done by me)
