Transfer of assembly to a third party

Hello

 

I need to transfer a solidworks assembly to a feeder. As this assembly is composed of a good  hundred parts, is there a  way to transfer the assembly without also sending the parts that compose it (type decomposition to take with an ASM + the PARTS ).

In the same way, is there a way to "transform" the pieces into solid death.

To put it simply: send a light assembly, no history of parts and that doesn't take me 2 hours to do. I can't do it in e-drawing, my supplier has to use this assembly to try his parts.

 

Thank you

Hello

 

For me the easiest if it's only for visualization:

- registration of the assembly in parts (with a simple save as), this allows you to no longer have the construction tree.

- and if the client doesn't need the "inside" of the design, we can use the defeature tool:

BA apart from the take-home comp, you can save in a neutral format such as .stl or . Iges or even . Step. And even in a single piece

 

You will keep your coins, without history.

 

Lucas, you're too fast^^

If, on the other hand, you have to keep all the parts of the assembly without the construction tree, you can export to IGES that you can re-import into SolidWorks (but imports are always a source of problems...)

Edit @Bart: on this question I was late too! ;-)

In STEP / IGES or Edrawing !!

Having already had the opportunity to do it, the simplest is still the edrawing which allows you to make parts disappear and really a good manipulation without being forced to have a great paid software to extract everything

IGS STEP is equipped with the possibility of redoing the parts via recognition while the edrawing is just given the possibility of measuring, and the viewer is free.

Last thing Mycadplace for a French provider is very good, if like me you only have foreigners, it's so redundant that I don't renew my subscription.

The top c is to send the edrawing with the download link of the free software

Personally, I advise you to save your assembly (sldasm) as a part (sldprt) and choose to recover only the external parts (see attached files).

To lighten as much as possible, remember to remove unnecessary parts (e.g. screws, etc........) before "save it as possible"
