Solid model - operations combine?

[PullTab]

Let's say I had a solid model with a bunch of extrude cuts, fillets, chamfers- Is there a way to merge them all into 1 solid body?

I know I could export a solid as a .Step, or .IGS, then re-load it, and it'll be one solid body with no 'child' operations below it.

The reason I'm asking is because sometimes I feel that if the (ie.fixture) design is finished, then I could disassociate all of the construction geometry, and not

worry about it 'going dirty' if it's one solid body, with no associated geometry.

If you have multiple separate entities, you can combine them through the solids menu using boolean add. To make the solid non-associative i think the best way is to use the 'nohist.dll' c-hook. Works a charm. You can access it through the settings menu under run user based application (ALT-C for shortcut) HTH Brendan

nohist.dll was exactly what I was looking for! Thank You Brendan2340!

There is a C-hook called Nohist that will do this. At least in X2 there is...

 

Edit: Ha! too late...
