Re: Can you apply an assembly extrusion to a part?

An assembly cut extrusion will only show up in the assembly or in a drawing of the assembly.

It will not show up when you open the part or when you make a drawing of the part.

When creating machinery, part drawings are created to manufacture the parts as they appear prior to assembly. An assembly drawing will show the parts assembled and any subsequent modifications that would need to be made AFTER the parts are assembled. For example: it would be common to "drill and pin at assembly" - two or more parts would be assembled (and possibly adjusted) and then pinned in place. The drilled holes would not be shown in the part drawings showing how the parts are manufactured.
