Creating Assemblies from Multibody Parts or Cut Lists

You can use Save Bodies to recognize similar bodies or a multibody cut list, such as weldments, and create an assembly with the appropriate bodies and instance counts.

Bodies must have identical material properties to be instanced in this way.

To save a part as an assembly and create instance counts from similar bodies:

  1. Click Insert > Features > Save Bodies.
  2. In the Save Bodies PropertyManager, under Create Assembly, select Derive resulting parts from similar bodies or cut list.
