Create two parts from split part

By default, Split removes one side of a split part, but you can split a part into two parts, saving each with a unique name.

1. Sketch a parting line on a part face.
2. Click Save As Save Copy As to save the part with the parting line and both halves intact.
3. Use the Split command with the Trim Solid method to split the part and remove the selected half.
4. Use Save Copy As to save the first half of the part.
5. Open the original file, then use the Split command with the Trim Solid method to remove the other half of the part.
6. Use Save Copy As to save the second half of the part.

Both halves of the part are now saved in separate files.

Note: Files created with this workflow are not associative to each other or the original source file. Each file is unique. Use the Split Solid method in a multi-body part if associativity is required.
