Relocate a Feature

General

• You can relocate a sketch-based feature, i.e. constrain the sketch to another surface, for example, or enter offsets and rotations for the sketch plane.
• You can use relocating to precisely position a cross section on a guide curve.
• By relocating, you can fix a situation where, for example, the sketch has detached from a surface that has been removed as a result of a change to a previous history phase of the part.
  • A feature detached from geometry is highlighted in red in the feature tree of the part.

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.
   • The program opens the dialog box Connect a Sketch.
   • This dialog box is skipped if the sketch is constrained to default planes.
3. Change the constraining plane, line, or points, if necessary.
   • Select the surface, line, and point to which the sketch is constrained from the list.
   • Click Change.
   • Select a new corresponding element. See details Sketch Connection Data.
4. Select OK.
   • The program opens the dialog box Sketch Plane Location.
5. Enter the necessary offset and rotations.
   • For more details, see: Sketch Plane Location Data
6. Select OK.
