Im still very new to Shapr3d so I may be missing something. Is there a way to save a body as a sub-assembly? Id like to keep the tube clamps ive drawn to use for other designs.

Use Isolation or hide the components you don’t want. Then save it to Files with an appropriate name. Then continue with your main design. Save it as something else. Then you can import the subassembly into other designs.

You may want to open your subassembly as its own design, then delete all the other stuff that was put into isolation or hidden, then receive it.
