Hi,

I have modelled plastic component by first designing the main housing. I have then added other features as seperate bodies so that with all the bodies visible I have an almost complete assembly (within a the part file). I wanted to have these bodies as seperate parts AND retain features so to create a new part I delet bodies I dont want. Now I have various parts with very long feature trees and 4 or 5 deleted bodies. Is it advisable to create parts like this? I wanted all the parts to be linked to the main housing during the development stages. Is there a better way? If I save bodies as a PRT file will the file be driven by the part it is referencing?
