    Hi,

    Is there a way to slice a part in two using a surface or plane? I would like
    to keep both of the parts in the same part file. I'm using SW2003. Thanks
    for your help.

  2. Use Split to create multiple parts from an existing part. You can create
    separate part files, and form an assembly from the new parts if needed.

    With multibody parts, you can use Split to create separate bodies. Create
    split parts by building separate parts, or by building a single part, and
    using a trim tool to separate the single part into multiple parts. When you
    create separate parts, you have the option to Show Bodies, Hide Bodies, or
    Consume Bodies.

    If you use a thickened surface then you can do this.

    Otherwise create two configurations, one for each half.

    The split command really helped me.
