Splitting parts into multibody
Splitting parts into multibody
(OP)
I am a mold designer so the terminology is as such,
If I have a core and I want to extrude an electrode from it, currently I use the combine/subtract then save the result as a new part, break all references to it and then back up the original file to get back to where I started, then make an assembly and combine the two files for location reference. Is there an easier way? Is there a way to do like a boolean operation and keep both bodies to create a multibody part?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Use extrude up to surface. Create shutoff surfaces and parting surfaces using mold tools, then just use the surfaces in the mold folders to Extrude up to surface. Your electrode will now be a solid that you can continue to work with and it maintains all references to the original in the event that things change.
