Transform a Assembly cut feature into a part cut feature

Transform a Assembly cut feature into a part cut feature

(OP)
Hi,
Consider a solidworks 2006 assembly file with 2 simple flat plates assembled one on other.

Using a assembly cut-extrude feature we can create hole passing through both these plates.

Question - Is there a way I can have this hole appear on the individual part models of the plates?

RE: Transform a Assembly cut feature into a part cut feature

The Hole Series option will propagate to the individual parts.

The regular Assembly Feature cuts will not.

Use the Top Down or In-context methods if you need cut features made in the assy to appear in the parts.

cheers

Thanks CorBlimeylimey. When it comes to SW 2007, do you see any improvements on these lines.

RE: Transform a Assembly cut feature into a part cut feature

To be honest, I rarely use the Hole Series and never use the Assembly Feature cuts, so can't really comment on improvements.

cheers

RE: Transform a Assembly cut feature into a part cut feature

There are no need for any improvements, because the Hole series is performed at the assembly level. IT will create holes at the part level that can be seen. If you create a cut extrude of a hole at the assembly level, you won't see any holes in the parts themselves.

There is an advantage you won't get with just using a cut extrude in the assembly.
