you’ve exceeded the cut limit… just kidding. I have no idea why it would gray out. You may try to make some cuts in other configurations.

thanks man, also i’ve been doing my assemblies on SW05 , will my assemblies open on 2007 ?

KD, hi. What you can do in that situation is do an assembly cut. In your assembly start a sketch as you normally would and make your cuts. They will only affect the Assembly. Since these are features you can control them with Configurations as well.

I am using SW 05 at home, and i’ve been creating assemblies with one part, however now i want to cut portions out of it. I want to know if there is a way to do this without altering the original part which i am using throughout the whole thing. In other words, “to modify a component without disrupting all the other components because i’m using the same part for each component.”

Great tips Josh! I already use a few of the ones you listed. The tip on making sub assemblies to dissolve is great. I had been thinking about doing that with the welding flanges I use when working on our machines piping. As usual, you are pumping great and useful information for the rest of us.

Hi Jason, Isolate is in 07. If you right click on any component it should show up in the menu.

Thanks a lot! I got started on a new project at work a couple weeks ago. My assembly has about 1000 parts in it with fasteners included. I was looking for a way to keep track of it all. Like Ron said, I was already using some of these ideas, but now I’ll try and incorporate a couple more. (I had forgotten about the folders, haha)
