Open - Match Faces and Edges of Imported Features

The Match faces and edges check box appears in the Open dialog box when you edit the definition of an imported feature.

To edit the definition of an imported feature:

  1. Open a file containing an imported feature.
  2. In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the imported feature, and select Edit Feature.
    The Open dialog box appears.
  3. Browse to select the edited file to import.
    The file name appears in the File name box.
  4. Select the Match faces and edges check box. This does the following:
    • Propagates the dependencies of the old faces and edges in the old body, such as sketches or features, to the new faces and edges in the new body.
    • Ensures you get the correct results when you open a file that has imported features.
  5. Click Open.
    The file opens and the imported features are correctly displayed.
