Have you ever had an assembly where you added a feature and wanted to remove the extrusion from one of the participants? This tip will show you how to exclude a feature added at the assembly level from one or more parts in Autodesk Inventor.
-
Open an assembly that has a feature added to multiple parts in the assembly. In this case it’s a cut extrusion that goes thru both Part3’s.
-
Expand Extrusion 1 in the browser. Note that the extrusion cuts thru both Part3’s.
-
Right click on the part you want to remove the extrusion from, and select Remove Participant.
-
Note one of the Part3’s is removed from the browser and the Extrusion if removed from the Part3 that was selected.
-
Note: If you create an Extrusion the reverse can be done, you can add a participant.
