Copy body (only)
Copy body (only)
(OP)
Hi folks,
[NX 7.5]
How do I copy the entire dumb body geometry of one part to another separate part without bringing the Model History with it? Being a logical sort, I would have thought that Copy | Paste of the Solid Body would have done just that - after all if I wanted the whole part I could just File | Import | Part - but no, Copy | Paste of the Solid Body brings the history too.
Please help.
Thanks.
Dave

Or, use export part with the 'remove parameters' option.

Edit -> Feature -> Remove Parameters...
...then Copy & Paste the 'body' to your other part file. Remember of course to NOT Save the model you just removed the parameters from or do an Undo before saving it.

Thanks for this. A few options to choose from there, I'll have a play.
BTW, this is OT but I've got nowhere with asking the forum management (no replies)... I'm not in Nuclear anymore, I've moved into Automotive, how do I get my sector changed in my profile as there isn't a section for it?

ctrl+c of the new body
change part
ctrl+v
return to the first part and delete the copy (without risk to lose parameter)
