Turn Single Part with Multiple Solid Bodies into Multiple Parts

[Anonymous]

Hey,

I'd like to find a way to turn a single part with multiple Solid Bodies into an Assembly with multiple Parts. 

Right now, I've got a part file where you can enter a variety of parameters into a form, and it spits out the part you need with correct dimensions by resizing some things and suppressing others, all with a click of a button.

However, on my final Drawing template, I need several of the Solid Bodies on this one Part to split into multiple Parts so that the Parts List looks correct (i.e. multiple lines, one for each Solid Body).

Is splitting my "Part with multiple Solid Bodies" into multiple Parts possible? Is it even the best way?

Thanks,

  -Luke

You can use the Manage > Layout >"Make Components" tool.

Hello nealon.luke,

In your part file, under the Manage Tab, select "Make Part".

You can then pick each solid body, give it a name and it becomes an .ipt part file.

Open an assembly, insert all the parts you created.  Then choose "Ground and Root" from the "productivity" ribbon area.  Each part will keep its X,Y, Z to the parent (original) file, so in the assembly each part will "reassemble" where they were in the part body.

Hope this helps,

Kenny
