Not possible at the moment. Some things are not even available in the API yet.

Thanks very much Nate for your comment.
I hope the API will be fully available to improve the capabilities of the AD software and allow people like you to solve problems that for simple people like me are essential to making the job easy and effective.

What is the desired outcome here?
Make faster an script.
How would the capability be used, and to what end?
if you have a existing and complex Assemble and sub assemble that has thousand of GB, only you need a little GB stick that has the scripts to stored and will be reedited late. You understand? If you make the new script you will take days or months to finish instead of seconds to reproduce the model with some GP (GV) or configurations. To me Is the future.

Save as script and not the model that take more memory disk space. Later run the script doing some modification for a new model or send the model scripted by simple and secure e-mail.
The ideal is had a resource of scripts for many part and assembles at less memory disk.
Thanks for you interest.

Hello Colleagues,
having in mind:
it will also be an interesting thing...
the 2 files in the explorer screenshot produce the same result...

So if I understand the need and use for the script, the scripts would actually be building the parts and then the scripts could be shuffled, dealt and
emailed as desired. Correct??

AFAIK the things that make Alibre part files so large are:
#1. A 3d mesh for fast rendering when opening files. This lets you see the model before it is calculated.
#2. A thumbnail image of the model for display in ms explorer and the Alibre Home window.
If you just want to save space just roll back your parts to the first item in the design explorer which reduces the complexity of the 3d mesh. That would be much easier than writing a script to completely reverse engineer all features of a part and assembly into a script.

That is new for me but I think the script allow you open a part or assemble without having the last AD version, for example the cube script that did for me idlsk days ago. This was made in ADV2019 and open faster in ADV11.2.
Script: 1 KB
Part: 224KB

Hello Nate,
plus design history...
(the tiny little partfile with the 4 lines skript is appended
)
I believe that GIOV is thinking about a kind of "automatic skript generator" instead of manually writing skripts...

i think this too.

In simple words yes. you're right.: Save as in script.
