I have a cad step file and I wish to import a few parts bundled together as a single body and graphic, can anyone please show where can I find such an option? Thank you for your time.
Hello Niraj -
There are a few ways you can combine the bodies/graphics.
Option 1. You may select the bodies that you want to combine in the browser, right click. In the context menu that appears, there should be an option "Merge Bodies...". This option will combine the selected bodies into one body and deleting those bodies. The graphics will be moved to the new body. In this case, the graphics would still be separate as entities, but they would belong to the new body created.
Option 2. After the geometry import, you may select any graphic that you want to combine with the other graphics. In the graphic panel, there is a component list which would typically have one component selected. You may manually select the other components that you want to combine.
Once you have selected all the components that you want to combine, you may delete the other bodies.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Praful
