SW Part for Customer

[schmt1i]

Hi all,

I'm looking to save a SolidWorks assembly as a single-body part so that dimensions cannot be taken from this, and in the model tree, it says only one part is in view instead of multiple bodies. I used to know how to do it, but time has erased that part of my memory. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

File>Save As...under Save As Type, select Part, then you will get more options for Geometry to Save, select Exterior Faces. Be aware that if they have a CAD system they will still be able to pull dims off the model.

Once you save it per MadMango's comment, you can save that as an eDrawings and limit the rights of users to prevent them from taking measurements.
