Add/Remove Block

You can add or remove sketch entities. When you remove sketch entities from a block, those sketch entities are promoted from the block level to the immediate next level. Add a block reverses the process.

Add/Remove Block is useful if you have a complex sketch, for instance an imported file, and you want to use selected entities from the sketch as blocks.

To add/remove a block:

  1. In the Edit Sketch mode, select a Block in the FeatureManager design tree.

  2. Click Edit Block (Block toolbar) or Tools, Blocks, Edit.

    The circuit is a single block.

  1. Click Add/Remove Entities (Block toolbar) or Tools, Blocks, Add/Remove Entities.

  2. In the PropertyManager, under Block Entities, select the entities you want to add or remove.

    The sketch entities that are marked will be removed from the block.

  3. Click , click the block confirmation corner , and then close the sketch.

The entities selected are still part of the sketch, but were promoted to the sketch level.
