Part VI: Using Advanced Techniques
FIGURE 28.2The Insert Part PropertyManager
You cannot be selective about which bodies are pulled forward, but you can delete unwanted bod-
ies once they have all been brought in (using Delete Solid/Surface). If you are trying to handle data
efficiently, this may not be the best option for you. Because you have to first bring forward all the
bodies and then delete those you don’t want, the body data is still stored inside the part. Remember
that the Delete Bodies feature does not actually delete anything. It simply makes it inaccessible after
a certain point in the part history. If you are inserting a part with many complex bodies, you may
want to use a more selective method such as Insert Into New Part or Save Bodies, each of which
I describe in more detail later in this chapter.
