Assembly to dumb block

I would like to have an application like autobuild-z which creates a dumb block from an assembly without references to origin.

Uses:

- protect your know-how when giving away models

- reduce size when giving away models

- reduce model size of STEP assemblies from suppliers when you dont want to see internals

- avoid cluttering of your database with unwanted models

As Shrinkwrap does not always produce good models I have to

- load the STEP-assembly into my template designasm

- merge all components to a merge part

- export the merge part to STEP (IGES)

- import the STEP (IGES) part into my template solidpart

This procedure provides me with parts up to my standards and with my parameters.

I think this could be automated by an application which could bypass the export/import procedure to avoid faults
