What’s New in SOLIDWORKS 2019 – Saving Assembly As a Part

In SOLIDWORKS 2019, when saving an assembly as a part, you can include or remove components based on specified criteria to simplify the saved part.

You can use the following criteria to save an assembly as a simplified part:

• Visibility of the component from outside the model.
• Size (volume) of the component.
• If the component is a Toolbox component.

You can specify a component property to include or exclude the component when saving an assembly as a part.

To open the Component Properties dialog box:

1. In an assembly document, right-click a component and click Component Properties .
2. In the dialog box, under Save assembly as part, select an option:
   

   Use system settings	Uses the System Options to include or exclude a component.
   Always include	Includes a component in the resulting part when saving an assembly as a part. This option overrides conditions that are defined in the System Options and the Save Assembly as Part PropertyManager.
   Always exclude	Excludes a component in the resulting part when saving an assembly as a part.
