aseembly to part file

aseembly to part file

aseembly to part file

(OP)
I have assembly of many parts.
I want to make it all in one file, so to convert assembly into part file

I did it several times saving assembly as stp file, open stp and save stp again
I do not need history.
Did not notice some strict law in doing so, and now I have a problem doing it.
I work with NX7.5

Anyone knows the way to do it?

Thanks

Probably the easiest way is to export to parasolid then start a new file and import the parasolid.

What kind of problems did you run into with the STP files?

When I save *.stp and open *.stp it is still assembly not a part file with all part in it.

RE: aseembly to part file

When you export STEP files, try using the "selected objects" option (rather than entire assembly). Window select around all the bodies in your assembly; this should create a "flattened" assembly (all the bodies in one file rather than creating components).

RE: aseembly to part file

It will still export as an assembly with components if you do STEP or Parasolid, if done from the command line. I think it will exoport as a single file if you do a save as to a STEP file.

If you really want it to be a single solid body, unite the components before doing your export.

I do not want to unit part. I want all parts separated, but all appears in part-tree not in assembly-tree.

RE: aseembly to part file



You need to add each component to your assembly.
