Is it possible to build a part in V5 but erase the history so just the model is there. So no one knows how it was built?

Yes. Take your source part and copy the top level part body. Next open a new part and then 'Paste Special as Result' and you should be left with a dumb solid of the original part within the new parts Main Body. This will have no history - but you can still take measurements from this new part.
 
Great thank you very much
 
Slaen - if you are in version 15 or 16 and you have an assembly, go to Tools-->Generate CATPart from Product. This will take your assembly and build 1 part file with "dumb" solids.

Regards,
Derek
