Remove Material with a Library Feature
Add a cutout library feature to an existing part in the working window.
- You can position a library feature using its handle. The feature's handle will snap to a face, a line, or a point on a line. Before positioning the library feature, you can rotate it, if necessary.
- A library feature that has been added to a part has no associativity to the original library feature, which means that the changes made to the library feature will not affect the library feature used in the part.
- You can edit the geometry of the library feature using the values in the dimension table.
