Converting Part Design Features to Natural Shape Features

You can convert a Part Design feature to a Natural Shape feature and modify it in Natural Shape.


Before you begin: Create a feature, for example, a pad.
Right-click the feature and select Object.x object > Direct Edit.
The selected feature is converted to a Natural Shape feature and an Add.x node replaces its existing node in the tree.
Notes:
  • When you convert a Part Design feature, all features above it in the tree within the current body are also converted.
  • You can expand Add.x > Body.x and double-click the Live Shape.x node to modify the feature in Natural Shape.
