Copying multiple part bodies and pasting into a single part.

[simkatu]

I have hundreds of "standard parts" instantiated in an assembly.

Now I want to copy all of the part bodies in each of the hundreds of parts and paste them all into a single detail part that will act as a collector for the parts.

I have not been able to find a way to select multiple part bodies from different parts and copy them all and then paste them into a detail. I have only been able to do this manually by expanding the tree, selecting a single part body and then copying it into my detail. Then I have to keep doing this process for each and every part in my assembly, which is hundreds of parts.

Does anyone have a method to accomplish what I'm asking? A helpful hint? A macro?

check the function CATProduct to CATPart in the tool menu while in Assembly Design workbench

You could also use Add to Associated Part in the Assembly Design workbench

Depending on your process this can be done also with a macro but easy way was already shown in this thread (again, it also depends on your company procedure).

Hi,
Only two ways.
1.Use CATproduct to part in the Assembly design workbench.
2.Macro.
