You can see a dynamic feature preview when you drag the entities of a sketch, either with or without opening the sketch itself.
The preview updates when you release the mouse button after dragging.
To display a dynamic preview without opening a sketch:
Click Move/Size
Features
on the Features toolbar.
Click the feature you want to edit.
The sketch is highlighted in the graphics area. If more than one sketch is used to create the feature (for example, if the selected feature is a loft or a sweep), all the sketches used in the feature are highlighted.
Notice that the model is not rolled back when you edit a feature this way.
Drag the sketch entities as needed. As you modify the sketch, the preview shows you what the resulting feature will look like.
When you are satisfied with the feature, click an empty area of the document window or press Esc to clear the selected sketch entity.

NOTE: Even though the fillet feature was created separately from the cut extrude, it moves and changes size with the cut extrude because of parent and child relations.
To display a dynamic preview while editing a sketch:
Click Move/Size
Features
on the Features toolbar.
Double-click a sketch to open the sketch for editing.
The model is rolled back to the selected feature.
Modify the sketch by dragging the sketch entities, changing the dimensions, adding relations, and so on. As you modify the sketch, the preview shows you what the resulting feature will look like.
Exit the sketch to update the feature.
