creating a part from an assembly

creating a part from an assembly

creating a part from an assembly

(OP)
I used to use solidedge often and there was a command named "part copy" that would create a part from an assembly. The part would behave just like an imported solid, i.e. no parametric features. Is there a similar command for solidworks?

Sorry if there is a thread that handles this already. Its difficult performing searches for phrases like part copy

RE: creating a part from an assembly

If what you want is to save an assembly as a part, then it is that simple, select saveas and change the .sldasm to .sldprt (selectable in the drop down).

You might give "SpeedPak" a try for this.  On the "configurations" tab right click on the configuration you want to save as a part and select "add SpeedPak".  I think it may be better than the "save as" route.

RE: creating a part from an assembly

Hi,
I use solid works with my engineer and am seeming to have issues in making a sport bottle top to match the threads on my CAD file. This is in regards to thread710-171032: Bottle thread. The piece that i need to make air tight is a cap with a male piece on top so i need to add threads to the male piece to match the sport top.

The nominal wall is 0.1

Is this easy to do? Can some one please give me reccomendations?? I thought they were pretty standard.

Thanks alot,

Chris

I forgot to include that the Volume(in^3) is 1.212

Thanks again,

Chris

Please start a new thread for your question. Tacking your question onto an existing and totally unrelated one, makes for confusing threads.
