Script Description
This tool allows a user to select curves, surfaces, or Bodies from one or more CATParts in an assembly and create a list of individual CATParts dedicated to the linked geoemtry. This sort of application is good for sequencing and also breaking down a model for fabrication.
Restrictions
Users cannot work from a Part. The lead Product must be activated.
The second release now allows for OGS and A&S objects. This will only transfer the first level of elements though. (OGS's inside OGS's will not transfer, so Windows and Doors will not be copied.) Also, there is some limited capabilities with UDF's. It will transfer the lead UDF object, but not the sub-elements. This is due to a bug with parenting in UDF structures.
Script Notes
Also there is a bug with one of the commands in the script. It will prompt the user with a message box saying "No command found: Undo," but this will not impact the script. Click OK, and it will continue. (Note: if you do not want this message to occur, activate a part or make a point. Then go to "Edit" > "Undo." By doing this, the message box will not appear in future executions of the code.)
