Has the split body command changed?
Has the split body command changed?
(OP)
In NX 7.5, I am splitting the body in two and noticed that the orginal body is still retained. What I am doing is comparing two models to see the mass difference between the two. By splitting it into smaller sections, I am able to narrow down the proximity of the areas that are different. With the original bodies retained, it makes it difficult to select what I want.

And before you ask, the reason why there is NO option to create a non-associative result, it's because, as you've already mentioned, the results of using old function was to remove ALL of the parametrics of the original body(s), something that we didn't want to happen without the user knowing exactly what it was that was happening. Therefore we decided to implement it the way that you see it now so that if that was actually what the user was willing to live with, that it WOULD require an extra step.
Now back to the procedure which I previously outlined; if you wish to Split multiple bodies using multiple datum planes (or sheet bodies), you can select all of the bodies at once and you can select all of the datum planes (or sheet bodies) at once, and since this will result in a SINGLE Split Body feature, in the end you will only need to perform a Single Remove Parametrics operation.
