Merging parts from multiple models into one part
Merging parts from multiple models into one part
(OP)
Has anyone found a functionality to do that??
Do not reply with the copy/cut and paste solution; that doesn't work if all the parts have different orientations about the origin.

RE: Merging parts from multiple models into one part
If so you can do it by copying the part bodies for each part and placing them into a new part body inside the collector CATPart.
So in essence you are copying and pasting but partbodies not parts.

RE: Merging parts from multiple models into one part
for this create one product file insert all the parts (oriented also) into the product and then make your part current and select all solid bodies and say assemble (keep the links off) so that you will get the parts in assembly position.
one more option is create a plane intersecting the part which needs to be added in a file go to gsd and take intersection of plane and solid body that body will be added to your part with ext reference isolate it to remove the link
hope this will help u

Have you heard about the hidden function CATProduct to CATPart ?
In order to make it work, you need to define the variable:
IRD_PRODUCTTOPART = 1
and, while in Assembly WorkBench have a look under the Tools menu...
Hope that will help

Your solution looks very appeling; can you walk us step by step through it please? (where, how, what)
This approach is very usefull in the fabrication field when one has to machine a previously welded (assembled)product.
..and all the other 3D packages have it.
Thanks in advance.

In whitch version this functionality works? I've tried in V5R10GA and I didn't see anything new under Assebly Design/Tools.

RE: Merging parts from multiple models into one part
the variable : IRD_PRODUCTTOPART = 1 is a OS environment variable...if you don't know to to set it up, contact your admin...
