Note:
Creating a new document is useful when the part contains assembly features, and you want to create a part document that includes those features. You can use the new document to create a drawing, or for manufacturing or analysis purposes.
You can save the new document as a Solid Edge Part or Sheet Metal document. The new document is associative to the parent document.
