save a view of a cut creo parametric

[mn1]

Hey there,

I have a step model which is only one part. I would like to cut this model and save on of the parts. I already created a cut so i can see just one part of the modell. But if i save the projekt, the modell is not cut.

Who can I save the cut view?

Thanks for anser.

When you save the model, it is saving it as a Creo Parametric part model (.prt file). It is not saving it back to the step model.

is it possible to save it as a step model?

and how do i save it as a prt file? i can not select this file format

Use File-Save As and then select STEP.

Is it possible to save just the cutted view?

Are you extruding a cut or just showing a section view?

[StephenW]

Are you using Extrude to cut the model or are you just creating a cross section?

If you create an extrude cut and then save the model (as a part file or as a step file) it should save the cut.

If you are just creating a cross-section, then there is no real cut, it's only a visual.

Either we aren't understanding what you are doing or??

After you save, are you sure you are not re-opening the same original step file?

Are you saving the models to a different folder?

I think i just created a cross section. 

How can i create a extrude cut of the part of the model?

[Dale_Rosema]

Just do a normal extrude, but choose the  Icon to remove the material.

You can save it in the part but have it suppressed.

Or do a Save-As like the suggestion.

Where fo I find this symbol?

[Dale_Rosema · Accepted solution]

Start an extrude. It is in the main tool bar.

With assemblies, you can only do an extrude cut (you cannot add material in assemblies).

Now i found everything. Thanks for help.

Just save and it will save as a PRT model.

Use File - save as - and select step as the type to re-save as a step file

in picture 1 you can see my model part. Then I addes a cut so it looks like picture 2. This part is what i want to save. If i use file save as and save it as a stept datei i looks like the first picture if if i oben ist again.
