Hello
To save time, I would like to create a volume and then from this volume rename parts as parts
Possible or not?
I think I've seen this at SpaceClaim but does it exist at SW
Thank you in advance
Hello
yes it is possible since Solidworks 2012, see attached links:
http://help.solidworks.com/2012/French/solidworks/sldworks/Split_and_Save_Bodies.htm
Or by doing whatever you want without merging the functions and by creating configurations using the delete/keep body function in insertion==>functions then delete/keep to delete the functions according to the configurations you want to do....

But for the delete/keep the body function I don't know from which version it is available. 2015 or 2016....

Hello, I have Solidworks 2015 and I already have the delete/keep body function.
Kind regards

Hello
Yes, just use the split body function with the menu:
Insert -> -> Split functions.
Sketches must first be drawn that will be used for the cutting of the bodies.
Then rename the resulting volume bodies and create configurations and/or display states. :-)

Hello
You can automatically create an assembly from a multibody part, your parts will be dependent on the original one (the one with all the sketches) and can only be modified from it to keep an associativity between them (you will of course have to replace the "save bodies" function below your modifications in the tree).
1/ Right-click in the tree of your room --> show hide the objects of the tree --> show the volume bodies
2/ In the tree structure of your room --> right-click on the "folder" volume bodies and select save the bodies
3.1/ Check the boxes corresponding to the pieces you want to record / rename them and choose the recording location
Important: Coins cannot have the same name as the original one, and you must uncheck the "absorb ... " and "propagate... "
3.2/ If you want to create an assembly, click on browse and save your files.
This method allows you to save Split parts (something like that I think), the parts will not have sketches and functions in their trees.
It's very practical to carry out a study with relationships between several rooms, you only have one room to modify if necessary. On the other hand, to make a copy, it is preferable to go through a take-home composition to keep correct links.
Otherwise the "delete/keep bodies" function used with several configurations works very well too.

Thank you all, I will test these different solutions and will not fail to inform you.
Have a nice day
Several correct answers!
That of @a. Leblanc seems to me to answer the question
