Insert Here?
Insert Here?
(OP)
Is there a way of specifying the required position of the Insert Here arrow?
In a large file I find it's a pain to drag the arrow up and down.
I want to be able to specify the features that I want to place it between.
Anyone Know?
Thanks

RE: Insert Here?
You can use feature reorder. You have to know the feature #'s first. You can turn the feature number on by using the model tree menu options picking column display, info and feature ID or #.

It would also be nice to be able to drag and drop from one assembly to another... or from the top level to a subassembly... all in the feature tree.

Use
Edit-->Feature Operations
<menu manager>
Insert Mode-->Activate
Then pick the feature to insert after.

I also find it's easier to insert a component in the end of the feature tree, then drag it up where I want it.

Retrospective modifications to the casting have to be put before the machining features.
Dragging the "insert here" marker up 150-200 features took ages.
The tip from jkg was a big help...here, have a star.

Create a point in the model tree before each major process stage, and it will make things easier for you to find.

Close! Actually, it's under Edit/Component Manager in WF2.0.

The former refers to Part Mode.
The latter refers to Assembly Mode (under Edit-->Component Operations)
