"Make Components" Equivalent in CREO

[NG_10722318]

Hello,

In inventor there is a single button to break a part up that has had separate extrudes created in it and put those new parts into an assembly and create the assembly.

If this is not possible.

Is there a way to section Part_A in Assembly_01 and be able to "Project" the geometry of that section into a Sketch in Part_B which is also in the Assembly_01.

There seems to be no way to do this simply that I can see and in Inventor its again a single button. Click and the section is now a sketch in the new Part_B.

These sound like 2 different problems but they are exactly the same thing. I can project geometry into a Sketch while in a part but there seems to be no way to get that information (and stay referenced) into a new part. So changes made to Part_A automatically update Part_B

Any help with this would be great.

In Creo 7+ multibody modeling is supported. It is not a single button press. You can copy each body in the source model to a new external model using a single command function.

Use this link for guidance on how to execute.

Little clunky but it seems to get the job done. Thanks for the help and prompt response!
