Automating the creation of a part

Before I get too involved in Feature Script I wanted to know if I can use it to create parts.
I have a part that I create over and over again in most of my documents. I would love to have a way of automatically creating this part, within a part studio and not an assembly, at will.
Can I use feature script for this.

If it is exactly the same part, have you tried using the "derived" feature?
You can certainly make a feature that can create an entire part, but if it's the same part over and over again (and not something with parameters controlling it), using derived is easier.Ilya Baran \ VP, Architecture and FeatureScript \ Onshape Inc5
