Hi
How do you extract surfaces in Solidworks to use as a cutting tool in another assembly?

If I offset using '0' how do I then use that in a completely new assembly?

How do I blow the history to just get a clean part?
Its a long tree to get to this stage, so I don't want to take that with the new surface,is there a way to take just the offset 'o' surface into another part?

Is this, "list external references" in 2006?
Am I missing an option somewhere?
RE: Solidworks Surface extraction to us as a cutting tool !
In other words, the option is only offered if external references exist.
RE: Solidworks Surface extraction to us as a cutting tool !
so how do you utilize offset "0" to give external references.
In order to use the surface as a tool in another part?

There are a few ways to do this.
I would do everything in an assembly. Place this new surface part in the assembly, or even just use the part that I originally took the surface from. After placing this part correctly with respect to what you want to cut, You can now go to edit part. You will have to create a copy surface (offset '0') in the part that is being edited from the surface part or the origial part itself. Then use this surface to cut the body.
or....
Go to the part you want to cut with that surface and go to insert -> part. Place the part file into the other part.
