Merging Parts
Merging Parts
(OP)
Is there a way to convert an assembly into a single solid part, other than exporting it as an IGES then re-importing it as a part?

RE: Merging Parts
Yes, actually, there are two ways. One way is to use the merge function the second is to use inheritance features. Inheritance may be preferable, but will have a limitation when mixed sheet-metal and standard parts are used. I suggest assembling an empty part into the assembly that contains the parts to be merged than activate this part and start "assembling" the parts as merge/inheritance features. Works well. Extra steps can be used to break the parent/child relationships on the feature placement if necessary.
Good luck.
