how to tranfer assembly to part?
(OP)
We have some product to be put online for our customers to download and assembly in their equipment.
I need the change our assembly file to a part file. Currently I am doing a quite stupid way,
step 1, save pro/e assm file to igs.
step 2, open the .igs in solidworks.
step 3, save the solidworks file into solidworks part file.
step 4, save the solidoworks part file as pro/e part file.
is there a shortcut to get this job done? I have hundreds of prole assemblies to be changed to .prt file.
Thank you for your help!

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.
RE: how to tranfer assembly to part?
I tried both of your ideas, they all worked!
Heckley's method is just what I want. smaller file size, overall shape/profile appears and the customer can not pick up dimensions of every components to make drawings & send RFQ from our supplier or competitors.
RE: how to tranfer assembly to part?
A shorcut to your method:
Save asm in an IGES (flat);
Open IGES in ProE (as part);
Save the part.
This allways worked for me.

You can also open the Step file and Pro/E will ask if you want to open it as a part or assembly just like with the Iges files.
RE: how to tranfer assembly to part?
Right, but you can't merge the assembly into a single part using step. And that was the statement.
