When editing a part that contains construction geometry created by the Copy Object command or when editing a part in an assembly (in Inventor), use the following commands to edit the copied geometry:
Right-click in the browser on the copied geometry to access the commands.
- Use Add to add more geometry to the copied geometry. Only available for geometry that was copied or moved as a composite feature.
- Use Remove to remove geometry from the copied geometry. Only available for geometry that was copied or moved as a non-associative base surface or composite feature.
- Use Redefine to replace a previously copied solid or surface with another solid or surface from the construction environment (or from another part in an assembly if you have Inventor).
Add or Remove Geometry
- Right-click a composite entry in the browser and do one of the following:
- To add geometry to the copied geometry, click Add to Selection. (Available only for geometry that was copied or moved as a composite feature.)
- To remove geometry from the copied geometry, click Remove. (Available only for geometry that was copied or moved as a non-associative base surface or composite feature.)
- Ctrl-click in the graphics window to add to the selection or remove selected faces from the selection.
Redefine a Copied Solid or Surface
Replaces a previously copied solid or surface with another solid or surface from the construction environment (or from another part in an assembly if you are using Inventor). If the parent of the copied geometry changes, use Redefine to reselect the new model or surface and then replace the copied geometry in the edited part.
- While editing a part, right-click in the browser geometry created by the Copy Object command, and then select Redefine.
- In the Redefine dialog box, select Face or Body.
- In the graphics window, select the geometry to be used as the replacement.
- Click OK to replace the existing body.
