Relocate a Feature

You can relocate a plane or a feature based on a sketch. For example, you can use this function for:

• positioning a cross section accurately on a guide curve.
• relocating other sketches based on a feature.
• editing a failed sketch feature. Failed features are highlighted in red in the feature tree of the part.

Relocating is done by defining new reference geometry, after which values for the offsets and rotations based on the selected reference geometry are entered. Relocate a feature as follows:

1. Select a sketch or a plane from the feature tree of the part.
2. Select the context-sensitive function Relocate.
3. Define the reference geometry of the sketch or plane in the Connect a Sketch dialog box. From the list, select a surface, line or a point, that you wish to redefine. Click the button Change and select a new surface/line/point from the part.
   Note: If the sketch is located on a default plane, you can not redefine the reference geometry, and the Sketch Plane Location dialog box will open immediately.
4. Select OK.
5. Enter the offsets and rotations of the sketch or plane into the Relocating dialog box. The entered offsets and rotations are in relation to the reference geometry.
6. Select OK.
