Merging Parts
Merging Parts
(OP)
I am going to work on a part and later on i plan on giving it to my coworker so he can merge it into another part.
Is this possible? I dont want to have an assembly because this part will be molded as one part. Also, we dont have time to be sharing one file so we gotta work on two areas of the part separately.
Any advice helps, thanks.

Insert-> Part....
use constraints to locate the part if needed. You can then use combine or merge them through use of a feature. You will have 1 part, yet you will maintian incontext realations to the part you inserted (unlike saving an assem as a part).

RE: Merging Parts
Not sure what you mean? How is IGES involved in this because there is a way to reduce the parts when you are trying to IGES out, but it may involve assemblies.
