Join, merge, union assemblies

[beckylou45]

Hi there. I have multiple parts in an assembly and I want to join them so I can make an STL file.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks so much!

Make a derived part.

Start a new part, close sketch, and pick the "derived part" button, choose the assembly.

You can break the line to the assembly (so if you change the assembly it won't affect the derived part) or you can leave it associative.
