External Parting Surface : Editing

You can edit:

• the Parting Face feature itself (by the Feature Guide)

• the numerical parameters only (width, draft angle)

Note: If your changes results in a geometric impossibility, or cause problems in subsequent functions, you will be warned by the Conflict Solver.

Editing the Parting Face by the Feature Guide

Right-click on the Parting Face name in the Feature Tree, or select the parting face and then right-click. In the popup menu that appears, select Edit Feature.

The Feature Guide will appear, automatically open to Required Step 2. You now return to the same situation in which you created the parting face.

Make modifications in the current step, and / or click the icons for additional steps to modify. Press OK or Apply in the Feature Guide to complete the function.

Editing the Parameters Only (Width, Draft Angle)

The numerical values are displayed. Press <exit><exit>(middle mouse button) to leave edit mode, or click a value to open the Edit Parameters dialog. In this dialog you can enter another value, or enter an equation involving parametric dependency.

After entering the new parameters, click or 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.) Press <exit><exit>(middle mouse button) to leave edit mode.
