2parts into 1part

Hello colleagues,

How do I make a 2part assembly a 1assembled part, WITH NO PART LINES where the 2 parts meet, thus keeping the dynamic link to the original 2 parts so that changes to either of the original parts will update in the 1 assembled part.

Keeping the information/properties for each unique part separate is needed: Thus save as "Parasolid" or "Part" options are VOID.

Perhaps a feature improvemnt to the "advance mates" tool...a ?combine/join/seem/assemble? that would elmenate the seam/edges found on an assembly/assembled-part.

or Save as an "Assembled Part"?

i don't know,

tell me what you know,
