Video - Splitting a Part in SolidWorks

Posted on September 6th, 2008 in Models, SolidWorks, Video by The SW Geek

The other day I received an email from a reader by the name of Zac. Here is an excerpt for his email:

One thing we just can not figure out how to do  is this:  We often want to draw a single part, and then split it into two separate halves as separate parts, as opposed to drawing the two halves independently.  Is there some easy trick to do this in SW?   Up to this point we are still drawing one part, then draw or try to draw the second one to match up.
