Assembly Features Remove

Assembly Features Remove

(OP)
Hello,
I have an assembly with many components. I have used one (same) component twice in 2 different places, one in the front, and once more at the back. Now I put an assembly remove operation, where I am removing anothr body from the component in the back only, but I get this remove part mirroring to the front also and it is being removed from the front component also, which I don't want. I have only chosen the back part in my Assembly Features Definition form and dropped it down to the affected parts. How do I fix this without creating two identical but separate parts?

Thanks

Publish Partbody of Front.CATPart Create a new part called Back.CATPart Copy paste as result with link the Front Parbody to the Back CATPart. Assembly the linked body to Partbody in Back. Remove the pocket from the Back part.

Or you can try isolating the back component. Might ask you to save it as a separate part file though.

Thanks Guys
Please tell me how to isolate the back component. I am a beginner, so please give me some step by step details. Thanks

@descatia

Make sure you are at the top Product (assembly level), then right-click>Components>Isolate Part on the back component.

I'm no expert either, this is just how I work around your issue. I'm sure some of the more experienced designers here can offer a better solution. I do believe that DBezaire's method is the correct, proper method.
