Can an NX4 assy file be converted to part file with bodies?
Can an NX4 assy file be converted to part file with bodies?
(OP)
Our customer standards force us to design our assembly file as one part file with multiple solid bodies. Is there a way to convert the assy files? I downloaded a purchased component and I need to bring it in to my part file. When I do the File Import it brings it in as an assy. They wont accept this.

File -> Export -> Part...
...and set 'Part Specification' to 'New' and enter a part name. Now with the 'Object Selection Scope' set to 'All Objects', go to 'Class Selection' and 'Select All' and when you return you need to decide whether you wish to retain the parametric nature of the models or not. If so, toggle ON 'Retain Internal Parameters' and for the 'Expression Transfer Mode' toggle ON 'Copy if Referenced' and then hit OK. Now open the newly created Part file and you should find your complete assembly but as a single file with no internal structure other than the features (if you had those options set).
