I've had to watch this about 30 times. I don't know why they make this so hard in SW. Thanks for uploading this.

Have been re-learning how to do stuff in SolidWorks and this really helped me when my part was made with so many sketches which were entwined & not and i wanted to split it in half. Thanks alot.

Hi there, unable to save the cut bodies file name, says the name is invalid.
obviously its saving in .sldprt format but still unable to save it

Loved it! quick and to the point. Thanks! and thanks for answering questions, I wasn't finding "Direct Editing" anywhere but someone else asked already about it and easy enough I was able to get my model split. Mil Gracias!!!

Short and effective video tutorial, nice...

I am sure you are very good with SW. The next time try to do it even faster, so we cannot understand anything you have done. Do you have slow motion available.

how did you just simply convert an entity without doing it in a sketch? it just made a new sketch for you? It won't work for me

[delidalidayi]

why am i take the error like " failed to save documents" while I applied this way

Great tutorial, exactly what I needed! When I split a part and give them names to make them independant parts, I then edited the split parts from the original assembly but the split parts don't update If I open up their independant file, any ideas how to fix this? Cheers

I dont have the direct editing alternative

How the hell do you split or trim a sheet metal part, or is that not possible?
