Joining 2 separate CatParts

[TheMan51]

I would like to know the best way to accomplish this task:
I have 2 separate catparts I would like to join together.
Do I copy one part into the other file? How would I align
the parts to each other?
thanks much.

1) Yes, copy the part. Be sure to include ALL support geometry, or you will get broken links and part errors.

2) Use the compass manipulation to align the parts.

You could assemble them in a CATProduct and from under Tools>Generate CATPart from Product.

You could copy and paste with link, and union the results together.

As to the 'Best' way - that depends upon what you are measuring.

Be aware that you lose all parametric history when you use "CATPart from CATPRoduct".
