kennykcheng Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thank you CAnnondale. That works. however, I noticed that the assembly does not convert to solid, it still show all the components. What I wanted to to turn these assembly into solid (1 pieces) and in STEP file and send to my client so they cannot alter but use the assembly to incorporate it into their assembly. How can I do these. Should I shrinkwrap it first before convert to STEP file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Shrinkwrap or Derived Component (which is really what shrinkwrap is) to convert assembly to one solid. Then save as STEP. Shrinkwrap gives you the added functionality of automated removal of small features and "flood fill" of internal cavitities if desired.
