Hi All,

I have a part file (let's call it part A) that contains three separate bodies (let's call them bodies X, Y and Z). At the end of Part A's tree, I want to place the "Save Bodies" feature and save each body to separate parts (parts X, Y and Z).

Part A has two configurations (let's call them config 1 and config 2) that change some dimentions in it's bodies. I want to somehow be able to preserve both configurations in the part files resulting from the "Save Bodies" feature in part A.

Ideally, I'd like parts X, Y and Z to just have the same two configurations as part A. I could also tolerate the creation of two separate derived parts (part X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Z1, Z2).

However I do it, I don't want to have to go back and rerun the "Save Bodies" feature everytime I make a change to Part A.

Any suggestions?

Greg
