Hello dear supporters!

I have a basic understanding question:  
I have now built a gearbox with Shapr3d, which worked great!  
The big advantage is that I develop all the components in the assemblies  
and can vote immediately.  
What I don’t understand is: How can I now use the developed individual parts as  
Save and separate standalone parts file? Because I have to go  
the development process, the individual parts in manufacturing drawings into production  
bring! In addition, it is a rule in our company that each component has an article number  
To save separately.  
Hence the question: How do I get the individual parts out of the assembly in Shapr3d in order to be able to save them separately?

Thanks for the feedback and answer!

Thank you and best regards … R. Janzen

Hi @ReiniJ,

Exporting involves all the visible parts in the workspace. To export a single part, please [isolate](https://www.loom.com/share/a6390d99a520450ea77a54a4d3e5f649?sid=b0a97dfd-4b56-4cf5-9e24-b1515b2de0c2) it first, then start the export flow.

Same issue I have……

I would like to be able to reuse part which I have drawn, in an existing assembly, to use the parts to build a different assembly.

Got it! To transfer your design, just export the model in X\_T and import it to the other workspace. The same applies as above, remember to isolate the imported parts because all the visible elements will be exported.
