(I've forgotten how to do this) I have a part. I've brought it into an assembly. In the assembly I've done some extrude cuts to the part. I want to save out the parts that have been modified by the cut made in the assembly. I believe I turn it into a multi-body and save the two separate bodies. I do not even see the bodies folder in the assembly tree. I forget how to do that.
UPDATE: I've attached a sample assembly and the one part within the assembly.

I forgot about that. Makes sense. But when I do a saveas sldprt I get "The operation is not supported because it will create invalid geometry (the bound box of the geometry can not be greater than 1000 meters)."
The example I uploaded is actually not the object I am really working on. The one I am working on is also a pretty simple model and I don't see any error messages in the assembly feature tree. And I do see a cube wire frame around the assembly when I select the top level assembly that looks pretty contained near the borders of the object. I am working in inches and the assembly is about 20". In others words I don't see anything odd about the size or any errors about invalid geometry.
I'd post the actual files but this a friend's experiment so I'd have to wait to see if he wants to put it out in public. Any other ideas?
Try exporting the assembly as STEP, IGES, Parasolid, etc. Then reopen the exported file as do a save as part
Steve,.. you might simply try deleting components or assemblies to narrow down (when the error goes away) which is beyond the 1Km range?
..maybe a imported component scale issue?...
..a rogue entity point/line or entity near > 1Km?...
...or, a bad surface (you can run diagnosis within a part for errors)..
I would right click on one of the parts and click on 'make independent'.
save it as test2
then in the cut extrude command check 'propagate feature to parts'
Do a "save as", and save your assembly as a part.
