Is it possible to isolate and save certain parts of projects to new projects if there own without bringing the rest with it?

Hi pHp,

Yes. Isolate what you want and export in Parasolid x\_t format. You will get bodies only; no sketches or history.

No, not directly. You would need to duplicate your project then delete all items you don’t need.
