Editing a Feature

To edit the green feature (Extrude14) you can either:

Select the top green face and right-click.

Select the green face or edge shown, and right-click. Because both entities was created by both the Extrude and Round functions, you will have to select which feature you want to edit:

The face and edge shown were created by both the Extrude function and Round function. If you want to edit the Extrude sketch of the green feature, select the top green face and then select Edit Sketch / Composite from the popup menu.

(middle mouse button)

Double-click both the yellow and green objects. All parameters used in creating both objects are displayed, including extrude lengths and sketch dimensions.

Click a dimension to open the Dimension Dialog. Enter a value, or click to enter a parametric dependency.

Click the Update button in the graphic area or in the main menu to update.

Editing a Feature

From the popup menu, select Edit Feature. The Feature Guide will appear, automatically open to the last Required Step. You can modify any step by clicking on its icon. When you are finished, click OK

or Apply

to close the Feature Guide and update the function.

Many functions are based on sketches and / or contours, such as Extrude and Revolve. You can also use sketches and contours when choosing sections and boundaries for faces. To edit the sketch or contour, you can either:

You will enter the function by which the curve or sketch was created. When you are finished, upon exiting the function the feature will be updated.

If you want to modify only numerical parameters, either double-click the feature name in the Feature Tree or double-click the feature in the display. You can display parameters for as many feature as you want at one time.

All parameters used to generate the feature are displayed, including sketch dimensions. Press exit to leave edit mode, or click a value to open the Dimension Dialog. In this dialog you can enter another value or enter an equation involving parametric dependency.

When the values are updated, click the

icon to update the feature, or you can update it later. (If you do not update now, all updates will be done automatically the next time you create or edit any feature or object.) Exit to leave edit mode. The

symbol on the Feature Tree will tell you if a feature needs updating.

Note: If you enter a parametric dependency for a numerical value, such as extrude length, when you return to the Feature Guide, this value will be grayed out. This is to prevent you from overriding the equation.
