Convert extruded surfaces to parts for assy
Convert extruded surfaces to parts for assy
(OP)
I downloaded a toggle clamp from content central. It looks like an assembly of a complete clamp, but it is a single part file made up of 19 extruded surfaces (19 Surface bodies). Is there a way to convert each surface body to a part so I can make a an assembly file with mates for the clamp?
Thanks,
Tom..

If the surfaces are already Knit together and considered a single surface body, I often delete a planar surface and then fill it with a planar surface. Knit the new planar surface to the existing surface body with the Form Solid Body option and you have a quick kludge-of-a-hack that clutters your feature tree while saving time.
